2 Tessalonicenses 3

10 For even while we were with you, we used to give you this order: if anyone is not willing to work, then he is *3:10 I.e. if one is able, but unwilling to work to provide for himself or his family, it is unjust for him to receive the necessities of life provided free by those who willingly work.not to eat, either. 11 Indeed, we hear that some among you are leading an undisciplined and inappropriate life, doing no work at all, but acting like busybodies [meddling in other people’s business]. 12 Now such people we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ to settle down and work quietly and earn their own food and other necessities [supporting themselves instead of depending on the hospitality of others]. 13 And as for [the rest of] you, *3:13 Lit brethren.believers, do not grow tired or lose heart in doing good [but continue doing what is right without weakening].
