2 Thessalonians 3:6-15 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

⁶ Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you ^[a]keep away from every brother who ^[b]leads an ^[c]unruly life and not according to the tradition which ^[d]you received from us. ⁷ For you yourselves know how you ought to ^[e]follow our example, because we did not act in an undisciplined manner among you, ⁸ nor did we eat ^[f]anyone’s bread ^[g]without paying for it, but with labor and hardship we kept working night and day so that we would not be a burden to any of you; ⁹ not because we do not have the right to this, but in order to offer ourselves as a model for you, so that you would ^[h]follow our example. ¹⁰ For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order: if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either. ¹¹ For we hear that some among you are leading an undisciplined life, doing no work at all, but acting like busybodies. ¹² Now such persons we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ to work in quiet fashion and eat their own bread. ¹³ But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary of doing good.

¹⁴ If anyone does not obey our ^[i]instruction ^[j]in this letter, take special note of that person ^[k]and do not associate with him, so that he will be put to shame. ¹⁵ Yet do not regard him as an enemy, but ^[l]admonish him as a brother.
