2 Thessalonians 3:9-16 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

9. not that we do not have the right, but so that we may give ourselves as an example to you, so that you may imitate us.

10. For even when we were with you, we used to command this to you: that if anyone does not want to work, neither should he eat.

11. For we hear that some among you are living irresponsibly, working at nothing, but being busybodies.

12. Now we command and we exhort such people in the Lord Jesus Christ that, working with quietness, they eat their own bread.

13. But as for you, brothers, do not be discouraged while doing what is right.

14. But if anyone does not obey our message through this letter, take note not to associate with him, in order that he may be put to shame.

15. And do not consider him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

16. Now may the Lord of peace himself grant you peace through everything in every way. May the Lord be with all of you.
