10For even while we were with you, we gave you this command: “If anyone is unwilling to work, he shall not eat.”
11Yet we hear that some of you are leading undisciplined lives and 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.
