Text -- 2 Thessalonians 3:9-18 (NET)
![](images/arrow_open.gif)
Strongs On/Off
Context
3:9 It was not because we do not have that right , but to give ourselves as an example for you to imitate .
3:10 For even when we were with you , we used to give you this command : “If anyone is not willing to work , neither should he eat .”
3:11 For we hear that some among you are living an undisciplined life , not doing their own work but meddling in the work of others .
3:12 Now such people we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to work quietly and so provide their own food to eat .
3:13 But you , brothers and sisters , do not grow weary in doing what is right .
3:14 But if anyone does not obey our message through this letter , take note of him and do not associate closely with him , so that he may be ashamed .
3:15 Yet do not regard him as an enemy , but admonish him as a brother .
Conclusion
3:16 Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way . The Lord be with you all .
3:17 I, Paul , write this greeting with my own hand , which is how I write in every letter .
3:18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all .

NET Notes: 2Th 3:11 There is a play on words in the Greek: “working at nothing, but working around,” “not keeping busy but being busybodies.”
