2 Thessalonians 3:10 in Context — 2 Thessalonians 3
8 Nous n’avons mangé gratuitement le pain de personne; mais, dans le travail et dans la peine, nous avons été nuit et jour à l’œuvre, pour n’être à charge à aucun de vous.
9 Ce n’est pas que nous n’en eussions le droit, mais nous avons voulu vous donner en nous-mêmes un modèle à imiter.
10 Car, lorsque nous étions chez vous, nous vous disions expressément: Si quelqu’un ne veut pas travailler, qu’il ne mange pas non plus.
11 Nous apprenons, cependant, qu’il y en a parmi vous quelques-uns qui vivent dans le désordre, qui ne travaillent pas, mais qui s’occupent de futilités.
12 Nous invitons ces gens-là, et nous les exhortons par le Seigneur Jésus-Christ, à manger leur propre pain, en travaillant paisiblement.
