2 Thessalonians 3:8-11

8 nor did we eat anyone’s bread without paying for it, but ^awith toil and labor we worked night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you. 9 It was ^bnot because we do not have that right, but to give you in ourselves ^can example to imitate. 10 For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: ^dIf anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat. 11 For we hear that some among you ^ewalk in idleness, not busy at work, but ^fbusybodies.
