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

2 Thessalonians 3:10-12
New King James Version
10 For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat. 11 For we hear that there are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner, not working at all, but are (A)busybodies. 12 Now those who are such we command and [a]exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ (B)that they work in quietness and eat their own bread.
