2 Thessalonians 3:8-10

Worldwide English (New Testament)

⁸ We did not eat anyone's food without paying for it. But we worked very hard day and night because we did not want to trouble any one of you.

⁹ We have the right to be helped. But we wanted to show you what you should do in this matter.

¹⁰ Even when we were with you, we told you this, `If any man will not work, do not let him eat.'
