2 Thessalonians 3:9-11

Good News Translation

⁹ We did this, not because we do not have the right to demand our support; we did it to be an example for you to follow. ¹⁰ While we were with you, we used to tell you, “Whoever refuses to work is not allowed to eat.”

¹¹ We say this because we hear that there are some people among you who live lazy lives and who do nothing except meddle in other people's business.
