2 Thessalonians 3:6-9

Tree of Life Version

No Time to Be Lazy

⁶ Now we command you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, to keep away from every brother who behaves irresponsibly and not according to the tradition they received from us. ⁷ For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us, for we did not behave inappropriately among you. ⁸ And we did not eat anyone’s bread without paying for it, but worked night and day with labor and hardship, so as not to burden any of you. ⁹ It wasn’t that we had no right, but rather to offer ourselves as an example for you to imitate.
