Warning Against Idleness

6 Now we command you, brothers, ^ain the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, ^bthat you keep away from any ^cbrother ^dwho is walking in idleness and not in accord with the tradition that you received from us. 7 For you yourselves know ^ehow you ought to imitate us, because ^fwe were not idle when we were with you, 8 nor did we eat anyone’s bread without paying for it, but ^gwith toil and labor we worked night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you. 9 It was ^hnot because we do not have that right, but to give you in ourselves ⁱan example to imitate. 10 For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: ^jIf anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat. 11 For we hear that some among you ^kwalk in idleness, not busy at work, but ^lbusybodies. 12 Now such persons we command and encourage in the Lord Jesus Christ to do their work quietly and to earn their own living. ^{▼▼Greek to eat their own bread}

1 Timothy 5:13

13 Besides that, they learn to be idlers, going about from house to house, and not only idlers, but also ⁿgossips and ^obusybodies, saying what they should not.

Hebrews 6:10-11

10 For ^pGod is not unjust so as to overlook ^qyour work and the love that you have shown for his name in ^rserving the saints, as you still do. 11 And we desire each one of you to show the same earnestness to have the full assurance ^sof hope until the end,
