2 Thessalonians 3:6-12

6But we command you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from any brother who lives an undisciplined life and not according to the tradition they received from us.

7For you know yourselves how you must imitate us, because we did not behave without discipline among you,

8and we did not eat anyone’s food without paying. Instead, in toil and drudgery we worked night and day in order not to burden any of you.

9It was not because we do not have that right, but to give ourselves as an example for you to imitate.

10For even when we were with you, we used to give you this command: “If anyone is not willing to work, neither should he eat.”

11For we hear that some among you are living an undisciplined life, not doing their own work but meddling in the work of others.

12Now such people we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to work quietly and so provide their own food to eat.
