2 Thessalonians 3:8 in Context — 2 Thessalonians 3
6 nous vous recommandons, frères, au nom de notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ, de vous éloigner de tout frère qui vit dans le désordre, et non selon les instructions que vous avez reçues de nous.
7 Vous savez vous-mêmes comment il faut nous imiter, car nous n’avons pas vécu parmi vous dans le désordre.
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.
