 The Apostle Paul wrote in 2 Thessalonians 3, Keep away from any brother who is walking in idleness and not in accord with the tradition that you received from us. We were not idle when we were with you, nor did we eat anyone's bread without paying for it. But with toil and labor we worked night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you. It was not because we did not have that right, but to give you and ourselves an example to imitate.
