2 Thessalonians 3:3-11 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

3. But the Lord is faithful, who shall establish you, and keep you from evil.

4. And we have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that you both do and will do the things which we command you.

5. And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.

6. Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother that walks disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received from us.

7. For you yourselves know how you ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;

8. Neither did we eat any man's bread for nothing; but worked with labor and travail night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you:

9. Not because we have not that right, but to make ourselves an example unto you to follow us.

10. For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.

11. For we hear that there are some who walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.
