2 Thessalonians 3:10-12
New American Standard Bible
10 For even (A)when we were with you, we used to give you this order: (B)if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either. 11 For we hear that some among you are (C)leading an undisciplined life, doing no work at all, but acting like (D)busybodies. 12 Now we command and (E)exhort such persons in the Lord Jesus Christ to (F)work [a]peacefully and eat their own bread.
