2 Thessalonians 3:9-11
New American Standard Bible
9 not because we do not have (A)the right to this, but in order to offer ourselves (B)as a role model for you, so that you would [a]follow our example. 10 For even (C)when we were with you, we used to give you this order: (D)if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either. 11 For we hear that some among you are (E)leading an undisciplined life, doing no work at all, but acting like (F)busybodies.

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)
