10. When we were with you, we gave you this rule: “Anyone who refuses to work should not eat.”
11. We hear that some people in your group refuse to work. They do nothing but busy themselves in other people’s lives.
12. We command those people and beg them in the Lord Jesus Christ to work quietly and earn their own food.
13. But you, brothers and sisters, never become tired of doing good.
14. If some people do not obey what we tell you in this letter, then take note of them. Have nothing to do with them so they will feel ashamed.
15. But do not treat them as enemies. Warn them as fellow believers.
16. Now may the Lord of peace give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.
