2 Thessalonians 3:12 in Context — 2 Thessalonians 3
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.
13 Pour vous, frères, ne vous lassez pas de faire le bien.
14 Et si quelqu’un n’obéit pas à ce que nous disons par cette lettre, notez-le, et n’ayez point de communication avec lui, afin qu’il éprouve de la honte.
