2 Thessalonians 3:6–12
WARNING AGAINST IRRESPONSIBLE BEHAVIOR
6 Now we command you, brothers and sisters, in the namef of our Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from every brother or sisterg who is idle and does not live* according to the traditionh receivedi from us. 7 For you yourselves know how you should imitatej us: We were not idle among you; 8 we did not eatk anyone’s food free of charge;l instead, we laboredm and toiled,n workingo night and day, so that we would not be a burdenp to any of you. 9 It is not that we don’t have the rightq to support, but we did it to make ourselves an example to you so that you would imitater us. 10 In fact, when we were with you, this is what we commanded you: “If anyone isn’t willing to work, he should not eat.”s 11 For we hear that there are some among you who are idle. They are not busy but busybodies.t 12 Now we command and exhort such people by the Lord Jesus Christ to work quietly and provide for themselves.B
