Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep away from any brother who is an idle and does not walk in accord with the tradition that you received from us. For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us, because we were not undisciplined among you, nor did we eat anyone’s bread without paying for it, but with toil and labour we worked night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you... For even while we were with you, we gave you this command: “If anyone is unwilling to work, he shall not eat...” (2 Thessalonians 3:6-10)
