2 Thessalonians 3:7-12
-
7 For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;
-
8 Neither did we eat any man's bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you:
-
9 Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.
-
10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
-
11 For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.
-
12 Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.
