2 Thessalonians 3:9-11
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
9 It was not because we have not that right, but to give you in our conduct an example to imitate. 10 For even when we were with you, we gave you this command: If any one will not work, let him not eat. 11 For we hear that some of you are living in idleness, mere busybodies, not doing any work.

11 We hear that some among you are idle and disruptive. They are not busy; they are busybodies.(E)
