2 Thessalonians 3:8-11

8nor did we eat anyone’s food without paying for it. On the contrary, we worked night and day, laboring and toiling so that we would not be a burden to any of you.

9We did this, not because we do not have the right to such help, but in order to offer ourselves as a model for you to imitate.

10For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: “The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat.”

11We hear that some among you are idle and disruptive. They are not busy; they are busybodies.
