2 Thessalonians 3:10
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
For even while we were with you, we gave you this command: “If anyone is unwilling to work, he shall not eat.”
In context
8 nor did we eat anyone’s food without paying for it. Instead, in labor and toil, we worked night and day so that we would not be a burden to any of you.
9 Not that we lack this right, but we wanted to offer ourselves as an example for you to imitate.
10 For even while we were with you, we gave you this command: “If anyone is unwilling to work, he shall not eat.”
11 Yet we hear that some of you are leading undisciplined lives and accomplishing nothing but being busybodies.
12 We command and urge such people by our Lord Jesus Christ to begin working quietly to earn their own living.
