9 We have the right to be helped. But we wanted to show you what you should do in this matter.
10 Even when we were with you, we told you this, `If any man will not work, do not let him eat.'
11 We hear that some of you are lazy. You do not work, but you trouble other people.

2 Thessalonians 3:9-11
New International Version
9 We did this, not because we do not have the right to such help,(A) but in order to offer ourselves as a model for you to imitate.(B) 10 For even when we were with you,(C) we gave you this rule: “The one who is unwilling to work(D) shall not eat.”
11 We hear that some among you are idle and disruptive. They are not busy; they are busybodies.(E)
