2 Thessalonians 3:8-12
English Standard Version
8 nor did we eat anyone's bread without paying for it, but (A)with toil and labor we worked night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you. 9 It was (B)not because we do not have that right, but to give you in ourselves (C)an example to imitate. 10 For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: (D)If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat. 11 For we hear that some among you (E)walk in idleness, not busy at work, but (F)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]
