2 Thessalonians 3:8

8 nor 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.

2 Thessalonians 3:10

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

2 Thessalonians 3:11

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

2 Thessalonians 3:12

12 Such people we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to settle down and earn the food they eat.
