2 Tesalonika 3:8-18
3:8 and we did not eat anyone’s food without paying.
1 Instead, in toil and drudgery we worked
2 night and day in order not to burden any of you.
3:9 It was not because we do not have that right, but to give ourselves as an example for you to imitate.
3
3:10 For even when we were with you, we used to give you this command: “If anyone is not willing to work, neither should he eat.”
3:11 For we hear that some among you are living an undisciplined life,
4 not doing their own work but meddling in the work of others.
5
3:12 Now such people we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to work quietly and so provide their own food to eat.
6
3:13 But you, brothers and sisters,
7 do not grow weary in doing what is right.
3:14 But if anyone does not obey our message through this letter, take note of him and do not associate closely with him, so that he may be ashamed.
3:15 Yet do not regard him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.
