2 Thessalonians 3:11-13
1599 Geneva Bible
11 For we hear, that there are some which walk among [a]you inordinately, and work not at all, [b]but are busybodies.
12 [c]Therefore them that are such, we warn and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that they work with quietness, and eat their own bread.
13 [d]And ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.

- 2 Thessalonians 3:11 How great a fault idleness is, he declareth by that that God created no man in vain or to no purpose, neither is there any unto whom he hath not allotted as it were a certain standing and room. Whereupon it followeth, that the order which God hath appointed, is troubled by the idle, yea, broken, which is great sin and wickedness.
- 2 Thessalonians 3:11 He reprehendeth a vice which is joined with the former, whereupon follow an infinite sort of mischiefs: to wit, that there are none more busy in other men’s matters than they which neglect their own.
- 2 Thessalonians 3:12 The Lord commandeth, and the Apostles pray in the name of Christ, first that no men be idle, and next, that every man do quietly and carefully see to do his duty in that office and calling wherein the Lord hath placed him.
- 2 Thessalonians 3:13 We must take heed that some men’s unworthiness cause us not to be slacker in well doing.
