2 Thessalonians 3:10 Context
8Neither did wee eate any mans bread for nought: but wrought with labour and trauaile night and day, that wee might not bee chargeable to any of you. 9Not because we haue not power, but to make our selues an ensample vnto you to follow vs. 10For euen when wee were with you, this wee commanded you, that if any would not worke, neither should he eate. 11For we heare that there are some which walke among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busi-bodies. 12Now them that are such, we command, and exhort by our Lord Iesus Christ, that with quietnesse they worke, and eat their owne bread.
