2 Thessalonians 3:12 (BSB)
Context Reading
10For even while we were with you, we gave you this command: “If anyone is unwilling to work, he shall not eat.” 11For we hear that some of you are leading undisciplined lives, accomplishing nothing, but being busybodies. 12We command and urge such people by our Lord Jesus Christ to begin working quietly to earn their own living. 13But as for you, brothers, do not grow weary in well-doing. 14Take note of anyone who does not obey the instructions we have given in this letter. Do not associate with him, so that he may be ashamed.
