Work with purpose – 2 Thessalonians 3:10-14, 2 Thessalonians 3:3-5
2 Thessalonians 3:10-14
10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
11 For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly (not keeping rank, neglectful of duties), working not at all (in nothing), but are busybodies (to be busy about useless matters).
12 Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.
13 But ye, brethren, be not weary (faint) in well doing.
14 And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.
2 Thessalonians 3:3-5
3 But the Lord (Christ) is faithful, who shall stablish (set forth, establish) you, and keep (guard) you from evil (evil one).
4 And we have confidence (faith) in (remaining within) the Lord Christ) touching (on account of) you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command (charge) you.
5 And the Lord (Christ) direct (guide) your hearts into (motion towards) the love of God, and into the patient (patience, as) waiting for (of) Christ.
