And he says, for even when we were with you, verse 10, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. I wish everybody in the world would memorize that verse. If any would not work, neither should he eat. Now you say, that's really harsh. Well that's what God said though. Whatever you think about it, that's what he said. He said that a person who refuses to labor, who refuses to work, should not eat. He said, look, you have to earn your own bread in this world. You got to get something done. You got to do some kind of work. Everybody doesn't do the same kind of work, but you better do some kind of work if you want to eat. He says, for we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly. Working not at all. And look, if you study this passage, when he talks about the people who are disorderly, it's the people who aren't working. It's real clear if you study this passage. And go back to the first verse we read, verse 6. Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received best. That's telling us, don't even hang around with lazy people. I mean these people need to get to work. And he says here, there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies. What is a busybody? Well the Bible talks about people who are busybodies about other men's matters. Tattlers is another word that's tied in with being a busybody. People who don't mind their own business, okay? And it says they're busybodies. Now them that are such, we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness, this is like study to be quiet, that with quietness they work and eat their own bread. He's saying shut up and go to work. Quit running your mouth, quit being a busybody. You've got so much to say, you want to run your mouth, you want to get involved in everything, go to work! Get something done! And he says they need to go to work, shut up, eat their own bread, verse 13, but gee brethren be not weary in well doing. He's saying look, don't let these people frustrate you, because sometimes to somebody who works hard it can be annoying. When they realize, man everybody's getting a free ride, everybody's lazy, and I'm working my fingers to the bone. He says no, brethren, be not weary in well doing. You just keep working, you keep doing what you're supposed to be doing, God's going to bless you for it. And he says, 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. Again, another admonition to not hang around with people like this. And he says that he may be ashamed, he had to be ashamed of himself, he says, for not working, yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother. You say, pastor, I'm offended by the sermon, the sermon hurts my feelings, but wait a minute, I'm not your enemy. I'm admonishing you as a brother. You say, oh, you're just all over my case. You know what, I'm your friend, I'm not your enemy, but the Bible says here that it's not treating someone like an enemy to say you need to get your butt to work and get away, you know, quit talking my ear off and go to work, you need to go get a job. That is not the words of an enemy, that's your friend that's telling you that, that loves you, your brother is trying to give you a swift kick in the pants and get you to go to work and make some money and do something.
