2 Thessalonians 3:6-10

Goodspeed(i) 6 We charge you, brothers, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from any brother who lives in idleness, instead of following the teaching you received from us. 7 For you know yourselves what you must do to follow my example, for I was not idle when I was with you; 8 I did not eat anybody's bread without paying for it, but with toil and labor I worked night and day, in order not to be a burden to any of you. 9 Not that I had not a right to my support, but to give you in my own conduct an example to imitate. 10 When I was with you, I gave you this rule: "If anyone refuses to work, give him nothing to eat!"
