2 Thessalonians 3:9-11
International Standard Version
9 It is not as though we did not have that right, but we wanted[a] to give you an example to follow. 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.[b] You are not busy working[c]—you are busy interfering[d] in other people’s lives!
