2 Thessalonians 3:9 in context
- 7For you know how you ought to imitate us. For we didn’t behave ourselves rebelliously among you,
- 8neither did we eat bread from anyone’s hand without paying for it, but in labor and travail worked night and day, that we might not burden any of you,
- 9not because we don’t have the right, but to make ourselves an example to you, that you should imitate us.
- 10For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: “If anyone is not willing to work, don’t let him eat.”
- 11For we hear of some who walk among you in rebellion, who don’t work at all, but are busybodies.
