2 THESSALONIANS 3:12 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 2
“Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.”
Now such persons we command and encourage in the Lord Jesus Christ to do their work quietly and to earn their own living — the command (parangellō) and exhortation (parakaleo) target the idle directly. 'Work quietly' (hēsychazō, to be still, work without fanfare) and 'earn their own living' (idas arton phagein) reiterates the norm.
