8. Nor did we eat anyone's bread without paying for it, but with toil and struggle we worked night and day, that we might not be a burden or impose on any of you [for our support].
9. [It was] not because we do not have a right [to such support], but [we wished] to make ourselves an example for you to follow.
10. For while we were yet with you, we gave you this rule and charge: If anyone will not work, neither let him eat.
11. Indeed, we hear that some among you are disorderly [that they are passing their lives in idleness, neglectful of duty], being busy with other people's affairs instead of their own and doing no work.
12. Now we charge and exhort such persons [as ministers in Him exhorting those] in the Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah) that they work in quietness and earn their own food and other necessities.
