In Context

7 For ye know yourselves how ye ought to imitate us, because we have not walked disorderly among you;

8 nor have we eaten bread from any one without cost; but in toil and hardship working night and day not to be chargeable to any one of you:

9 not that we have not the right, but that we might give ourselves as an example to you, in order to your imitating us.

10 For also when we were with you we enjoined you this, that if any man does not like to work, neither let him eat.

11 For we hear that there are some walking among you disorderly, not working at all, but busybodies.

12 Now such we enjoin and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ, that working quietly they eat their own bread.
