← 2 Thessalonians 3:10	2 Thessalonians 3:11 (KJV)	2 Thessalonians 3:12 →
For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.	For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.	Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.
