2 Thessalonians 3:7-13

7For you yourselves know how you ought to follow us, for we were not disorderly among you;

8nor did we eat anyone’s bread free of charge, but worked with labor and toil night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you,

9not because we do not have authority, but to make ourselves an example of how you should follow us.

10For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat.

11For we hear that there are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner, not working at all, but are busybodies.

12Now those who are such we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ that they work in quietness and eat their own bread.

13But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary in doing good.
