2 Thessalonians 3:9-11

International Children’s Bible

⁹ We had the right to ask you to help us. But we worked to take care of ourselves so that we would be an example for you to follow. ¹⁰ When we were with you, we gave you this rule: “If anyone will not work, he will not eat.”

¹¹ We hear that some people in your group refuse to work. They do nothing. And they busy themselves in other people’s lives.
