2 Thessalonians 3
World English Bible (WEB)
10 Ref For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: "If anyone will not work, neither let him eat."
11 Ref For we hear of some who walk among you in rebellion, who don't work at all, but are busybodies.
12 Ref Now those who are that way, we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.
13 Ref But you, brothers, don't be weary in doing well.
14 Ref If any man doesn't obey our word in this letter, note that man, that you have no company with him, to the end that he may be ashamed.
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.
14 Ref And if any man does not give attention to what we have said in this letter, take note of that man, and keep away from him, so that he may be shamed.
