5And may your hearts be guided by the Lord into the love of God and quiet waiting for Christ.
6Now we give you orders, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from all those whose behaviour is not well ordered and in harmony with the teaching which they had from us.
7For you yourselves are used to taking us as your example, because our life among you was ruled by order,
8And we did not take food from any man for nothing, but were working hard night and day not to be a trouble to any of you:
9Not because we have not the right, but to make ourselves an example to you, so that you might do the same.
10For even when we were with you we gave you orders, saying, If any man does no work, let him not have food.
11For it has come to our ears that there are some among you whose behaviour is uncontrolled, who do no work at all, but are over-interested in the business of others.
