2 Thessalonians 3:9-11
Jubilee Bible 2000
9 Not because we did not have authority, but to give you an example that you might imitate us.
10 For even when we were with you, this we declared unto you, that if anyone desires not to work neither should he eat.
11 For we hear that there are some who walk among you out of order, not working at all, but are busybodies.

New International Version
9 We did this, not because we do not have the right to such help,(A) but in order to offer ourselves as a model for you to imitate.(B) 10 For even when we were with you,(C) we gave you this rule: “The one who is unwilling to work(D) shall not eat.”
11 We hear that some among you are idle and disruptive. They are not busy; they are busybodies.(E)
