In context

8Nor did we eat anyone’s food without paying for it. Instead, in labor and toil, we worked night and day so that we would not be a burden to any of you.

9Not that we lack this right, but we wanted to offer ourselves as an example for you to imitate.

10For even while we were with you, we gave you this command: “If anyone is unwilling to work, he shall not eat.”

11For we hear that some of you are leading undisciplined lives, accomplishing nothing, but being busybodies.

12We command and urge such people by our Lord Jesus Christ to begin working quietly to earn their own living.
