2 Thessalonians 3:7-13

7For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us, for we did not behave inappropriately among you.

8And we did not eat anyone’s bread without paying for it, but worked night and day with labor and hardship, so as not to burden any of you.

9It wasn’t that we had no right, but rather to offer ourselves as an example for you to imitate.

10For even when we were with you, we would give you this order: if anyone will not work, neither shall he eat.

11For we hear that some among you are behaving irresponsibly—not busy, but busybodies.

12Now such people we command and urge in the Lord Messiah Yeshua to work in a quiet demeanor, so they may eat their own bread.

13But as for you, brothers, do not grow weary of doing good.
