2 Thessalonians 3:10-12

New International Reader's Version

¹⁰ Even when we were with you, we gave you a rule. We said, “Anyone who won’t work shouldn’t be allowed to eat.”

¹¹ We hear that some people among you don’t want to work and are making trouble. They aren’t really busy. Instead, they are bothering others. ¹² We belong to the Lord Jesus Christ. So we strongly command people like that to settle down. They have to earn the food they eat.
