2 Thessalonians 3:10-12

English Standard Version

¹⁰ For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: ^(A)If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat. ¹¹ For we hear that some among you ^(B)walk in idleness, not busy at work, but ^(C)busybodies. ¹² Now such persons we command and encourage in the Lord Jesus Christ to do their work quietly and to earn their own living.^[a]
