2 Thessalonians 3:8 in Context — 2 Thessalonians 3
6 Mas nós vos mandamos, irmãos, no nome de nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo, que mantenhais distância de todo irmão que anda desordenadamente, e não segundo a tradição que recebeu de nós.
7 Porque vós mesmos sabeis como deveis nos imitar; porque nós não fomos desordenados entre vós;
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.
