2 Thessalonians 3:9-11
Wycliffe Bible
9 Not as we had not power, but that we should give us selves [but that we should give ourselves] [an] ensample to you to follow us.
10 For also when we were among you, we commanded this thing to you [For why and when we were with you, this thing we announced, or warned, to you], that if any man will not work, neither eat he.
11 For we have heard that some among you go unrestfully, and nothing work, but do curiously.[a]

- 2 Thessalonians 3:11 Soothly we have heard some among you to wander unquietly, or unpeaceably, nothing working, but doing curiously.
2 Thessalonians 3:9-11
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)
