Question and Scripture of the Day: Do you agree with Paul that only those who work may eat? Why or why not ? How are you working for The Lord? 2 Thessalonians 3:6-13 3:6 Now we command you, beloved, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from believers who are living in idleness and not according to the tradition that they received from us. 3:7 For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us; we were not idle when we were with you, 3:8 and we did not eat anyones bread without paying for it; but with toil and labor we worked night and day, so that we might not burden any of you. 3:9 This was not because we do not have that right, but in order to give you an example to imitate. 3:10 For even when we were with you, we gave you this command: Anyone unwilling to work should not eat. 3:11 For we hear that some of you are living in idleness, mere busybodies, not doing any work. 3:12 Now such persons we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ to do their work quietly and to earn their own living. 3:13 Brothers and sisters, do not be weary in doing what is right.
