2 Thessalonians 3:5-7

International Children’s Bible

⁵ We pray that the Lord will lead your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s patience.

The Duty to Work

⁶ Brothers, by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ we command you to stay away from any believer who refuses to work. People who refuse to work are not following the teaching that we gave them. ⁷ You yourselves know that you should live as we live. We were not lazy when we were with you.
