10 While we were with you, we used to tell you: »Whoever refuses to work is not allowed to eat.«

11 We say this because we hear that there are people among you who are lazy and who do nothing except meddle in other peoples business.

12 In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we command and warn them to lead orderly lives and work to earn their own living.

13 Brothers, do not grow weary of doing good.
