2 Thessalonians 3:10-12
Wycliffe Bible
10 For also when we were among you, we commanded this thing to you [For why and when we were with you, this thing we announced, or warned, to you], that if any man will not work, neither eat he.
11 For we have heard that some among you go unrestfully, and nothing work, but do curiously.[a]
12 But we command to them that be such men, and beseech in the Lord Jesus Christ, that they work with silence, and eat their own bread. [Forsooth we announce to them that be such manner, and beseech in the Lord Jesus Christ, that they with silence, or stillness, working, eat their own bread.]

2 Thessalonians 3:10-12
New International Version
10 For even when we were with you,(A) we gave you this rule: “The one who is unwilling to work(B) shall not eat.”
11 We hear that some among you are idle and disruptive. They are not busy; they are busybodies.(C) 12 Such people we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ(D) to settle down and earn the food they eat.(E)
