10 While we were with you, we gave this order: "If anyone doesn't want to work, he shouldn't eat."

11 We hear that some of you are living in idleness. You are not busy working—you are busy interfering in other people's lives!

12 We order and encourage such people by the Lord Jesus Christ to do their work quietly and to earn their own living.

13 Brothers, do not get tired of doing what is right.
