2 Thessalonians 3:11

“For we hear of some who walk among you in rebellion, who don't work at all, but are busybodies.”

Verse in context — 2 Thessalonians 3

not because we don't have the right, but to make ourselves an example to you, that you should imitate us.

For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: "If anyone will not work, neither let him eat.

For we hear of some who walk among you in rebellion, who don't work at all, but are busybodies.

Now those who are that way, we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.

But you, brothers, don't be weary in doing well.
