Bible: 2 Thessalonians 3:7-11
3:7 For you know yourselves how you must imitate us, because we did not behave without discipline 1 among you, 3:8 and we did not eat anyone’s food without paying. 2 Instead, in toil and drudgery we worked 3 night and day in order not to burden any of you. 3:9 It was not because we do not have that right, but to give ourselves as an example for you to imitate. 4 3:10 For even when we were with you, we used to give you this command: “If anyone is not willing to work, neither should he eat.” 3:11 For we hear that some among you are living an undisciplined life, 5 not doing their own work but meddling in the work of others. 6
