2 Thessalonians 3:10 in Context — 2 Thessalonians 3

8 Nem comemos de graça o pão de qualquer um, mas sim com trabalho e cansaço trabalhamos de noite e de dia, para não sermos incômodos a nenhum de vós.

9 Não porque não tivéssemos autoridade [para fazer isso] , mas porque nós mesmos dávamos exemplo a vós, para [assim] nos imitardes.

10 Porque, quando ainda estávamos convosco, isto vos mandamos: que se alguém não quiser trabalhar, também não coma.

11 Porque ouvimos que alguns entre vós andam desordenadamente, não trabalhando, mas se intrometendo no que os outros fazem.

12 Mas aos tais mandamos e exortamos, por nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo, que trabalhem sem causar incômodo, e comam seu próprio pão.
