8 nor did we eat anyone’s bread1 free of charge, but worked with alabor and toil night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you,
9 not because we do not have aauthority, but to make ourselves an example of how you should follow us.
10 For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat.
11 For we hear that there are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner, not working at all, but are abusybodies.
12 Now those who are such we command and1 exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ athat they work in quietness and eat their own bread.
13 But as for you, brethren, ado not grow weary in doing good.
14 And if anyone does not obey our word in this1 epistle, note that person and ado not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed.
