2 Thessalonians 3:8 in context
- 6Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which they received of us.
- 7For yourselves know how ye ought to imitate us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;
- 8neither did we eat bread for nought at any man’s hand, but in labor and travail, working night and day, that we might not burden any of you:
- 9not because we have not the right, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you, that ye should imitate us.
- 10For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, If any will not work, neither let him eat.
