King James Version
"For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat."
— 2 Thessalonians 3:10, King James Version
“For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, If any will not work, neither let him eat. ”
“For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: "If anyone will not work, neither let him eat."”
“For even when we were with you, we used to give you this command:“If anyone is not willing to work, neither should he eat.””
“For also, when we were with you, this we declared to you: that, if any man will not work, neither let him eat.”
“For even when we were with you we gave you orders, saying, If any man does no work, let him not have food.”
“For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.”
For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;
Neither did we eat any man’s bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you:
Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.
For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.
Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.
But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.
