7. For you yourselves know how you must imitate us: We were not irresponsible among you;
8. we did not eat anyone’s food free of charge; instead, we labored and struggled, working night and day, so that we would not be a burden to any of you.
9. It is not that we don’t have the right to support, but we did it to make ourselves an example to you so that you would imitate us.
10. In fact, when we were with you, this is what we commanded you: “If anyone isn’t willing to work, he should not eat.”
11. For we hear that there are some among you who walk irresponsibly, not working at all, but interfering with the work of others.
12. Now we command and exhort such people by the Lord Jesus Christ that quietly working, they may eat their own food.
13. Brothers, do not grow weary in doing good.
