2 Thessalonians 3
Bible in Basic English (BBE)
10 Ref For even when we were with you we gave you orders, saying, If any man does no work, let him not have food.
11 Ref For it has come to our ears that there are some among you whose behaviour is uncontrolled, who do no work at all, but are over-interested in the business of others.
12 Ref Now to such we give orders and make request in the Lord Jesus, that, working quietly, they get their living.
13 Ref And you, my brothers, do not get tired of well-doing.
King James Version (KJV)
10 Ref For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
11 Ref For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.
12 Ref Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.
