10. Even when we were with you, we gave you a rule. We said, "Anyone who will not work will not eat."
11. We hear that some people among you don't want to work. They aren't really busy. Instead, they are bothering others.
12. We belong to the Lord Jesus Christ. So we strongly command people like that to settle down. They have to earn the food they eat.
13. Brothers and sisters, don't ever get tired of doing the right thing.
14. Keep an eye on anyone who doesn't obey the directions in our letter. Watch that person closely. Have nothing to do with him. Then he will feel ashamed.
15. But don't think of him as an enemy. Instead, warn him as a brother or sister.
16. May the Lord who gives peace give you peace at all times and in every way. May the Lord be with all of you.
