She is always busy and looks after her family's needs.

Our friends, we command you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to keep away from all believers who are living a lazy life and who do not follow the instructions that we gave them.

We did not accept anyone's support without paying for it. Instead, we worked and toiled; we kept working day and night so as not to be an expense to any of you.

While we were with you, we used to tell you, "Whoever refuses to work is not allowed to eat."

Do not spread lies about anyone, and when someone is on trial for his life, speak out if your testimony can help him. I am the LORD.

A gossip can never keep a secret. Stay away from people who talk too much.

Stay in that same house, eating and drinking whatever they offer you, for workers should be given their pay. Don't move around from one house to another.

You know that I did not hold back anything that would be of help to you as I preached and taught in public and in your homes.

We say this because we hear that there are some people among you who live lazy lives and who do nothing except meddle in other people's business.

If you suffer, it must not be because you are a murderer or a thief or a criminal or a meddler in other people's affairs.

The time will come when some men from your own group will tell lies to lead the believers away after them.

It is necessary to stop their talk, because they are upsetting whole families by teaching what they should not, and all for the shameful purpose of making money.

Words of thanksgiving and cursing pour out from the same mouth. My friends, this should not happen!
