“God Helps Those That Help Themselves” For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order: if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either. 11 For we hear that some among you are leading an undisciplined life, doing no work at all, but acting like busybodies. 12 Now such persons we command exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ to work in quiet fashion and eat their own bread.
