2 Thessalonians 3:9-13

not because we do not have the right to this, but in order to offer ourselves as a role model for you, so that you would follow our example.

For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order: if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either.

For we hear that some among you are leading an undisciplined life, doing no work at all, but acting like busybodies.

Now we command and exhort such persons in the Lord Jesus Christ to work peacefully and eat their own bread.

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