9. We did this, not because we have no right to demand our support; we did it to be an example for you to follow.
10. While we were with you, we used to say to you, “Whoever refuses to work is not allowed to eat.”
11. We say this because we hear that there are some people among you who live lazy lives and who do nothing except meddle in other people's business.
12. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ we command these people and warn them to lead orderly lives and work to earn their own living.
13. But you, brothers and sisters, must not get tired of doing good.
