2 Thessalonians 3:7-12

7 For you yourselves know ^jhow you ought to imitate us, because ^kwe were not idle when we were with you, 8 nor did we eat anyone’s bread without paying for it, but ^lwith toil and labor we worked night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you. 9 It was ^mnot because we do not have that right, but to give you in ourselves ⁿan example to imitate. 10 For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: ^oIf anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat. 11 For we hear that some among you ^pwalk in idleness, not busy at work, but ^qbusybodies. 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}
