2 Thessalonians 3:7-12

Godbey(i) 7 For you yourselves know how it behooves you to imitate us; because we were not disorderly among you; 8 neither did we eat bread with any one gratuitously, but with labor and toil, night and day working, that we might not burden any one of you: 9 not because we have not the right, but in order that we may give ourselves an example to you, that you may imitate us. 10 For indeed when we were with you, we proclaimed this to you, that if any one does not wish to work, let him not eat. 11 For we hear that there are certain ones walking about among you disorderly, doing nothing, but they are busybodies: 12 but we command such and exhort them in the Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietude working, they must eat their own bread.
