10For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: "If a man will not work, he shall not eat."
7 For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example. We were not idle when we were with you,
8 nor did we eat anyone's food without paying for it. On the contrary, we worked night and day, laboring and toiling so that we would not be a burden to any of you.
9 We did this, not because we do not have the right to such help, but in order to make ourselves a model for you to follow.
10 For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: "If a man will not work, he shall not eat."
11 We hear that some among you are idle. They are not busy; they are busybodies.
12 Such people we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to settle down and earn the bread they eat.

3:10For also when we were with you, this we declared to you: that, if any man will not work, neither let him eat.
3:10For also when we were with you we enjoined you this, that if any man does not like to work, neither let him eat.
3:10For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, If any will not work, neither let him eat.
3:10For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
3:10For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: |If anyone will not work, neither let him eat.|
