NASB
"For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order: if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either."
— 2 Thessalonians 3:10, NASB
“For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.”
“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 you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example, because we did not act in an undisciplined manner among you,
nor did we eat anyone's bread without paying for it, but with labor and hardship we kept working night and day so that we would not be a burden to any of you;
not because we do not have the right to this, but in order to offer ourselves as a model for you, so that you would follow our example.
For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order: if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either.
For we hear that some among you are leading an undisciplined life, doing no work at all, but acting like busybodies.
Now such persons we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ to work in quiet fashion and eat their own bread.
But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary of doing good.
