فَإِنَّنَا أَيْضًا حِينَ كُنَّا عِنْدَكُمْ، أَوْصَيْنَاكُمْ بِهذَا: «أَنَّهُ إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ لاَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَشْتَغِلَ فَلاَ يَأْكُلْ أَيْضًا».

For even--Translate, "For also." We not only set you the example, but gave a positive "command." commanded--Greek imperfect, "We were commanding"; we kept charge of you. would not work--Greek, "is unwilling to work." BENGEL makes this to be the argument: not that such a one is to have his food withdrawn from him by others; but he proves from the necessity of eating the necessity of working; using this pleasantry, Let him who will not work show himself an angel, that is, do without food as the angels do (but since he cannot do without food, then he ought to be not unwilling to work). It seems to me simpler to take it as a punishment of the idle. Paul often quotes good adages current among the people, stamping them with inspired approval. In the Hebrew, "Bereshith Rabba," the same saying is found; and in the book Zeror, "He who will not work before the sabbath, must not eat on the sabbath."
افتح المصدر ↗In the close of the foregoing chapter, the apostle had prayed earnestly for the Thessalonians, and now he desires their prayers, encouraging them to trust in God, to which he subjoins another petition for them (Th2 3:1-5). He then proceeds to give them commands and directions for correcting some things he was informed were amiss among them (Th2 3:6-15) and concludes with benedictions and prayers (Th2 3:16-18).
افتح المصدر ↗3:10 Work is the appropriate way to gain a living (see Gen 3:17-19; Ps 128:2; Prov 10:4). Paul absolves the church of the responsibility of feeding other believers who refuse to work.

بِعَرَقِ وَجْهِكَ تَأْكُلُ خُبْزًا حَتَّى تَعُودَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أُخِذْتَ مِنْهَا. لأَنَّكَ تُرَابٌ، وَإِلَى تُرَابٍ تَعُودُ».
وَأَنْ تَحْرِصُوا عَلَى أَنْ تَكُونُوا هَادِئِينَ، وَتُمَارِسُوا أُمُورَكُمُ الْخَاصَّةَ، وَتَشْتَغِلُوا بِأَيْدِيكُمْ أَنْتُمْ كَمَا أَوْصَيْنَاكُمْ،
نَفْسُ الْكَسْلاَنِ تَشْتَهِي وَلاَ شَيْءَ لَهَا، وَنَفْسُ الْمُجْتَهِدِينَ تَسْمَنُ.
اَلْكَسْلاَنُ لاَ يَحْرُثُ بِسَبَبِ الشِّتَاءِ، فَيَسْتَعْطِي فِي الْحَصَادِ وَلاَ يُعْطَى.
شَهْوَةُ الْكَسْلاَنِ تَقْتُلُهُ، لأَنَّ يَدَيْهِ تَأْبَيَانِ الشُّغْلَ.
لأَنَّنَا لَمَّا كُنَّا عِنْدَكُمْ، سَبَقْنَا فَقُلْنَا لَكُمْ: إِنَّنَا عَتِيدُونَ أَنْ نَتَضَايَقَ، كَمَا حَصَلَ أَيْضًا، وَأَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ.
لكِنِّي قَدْ كَلَّمْتُكُمْ بِهذَا حَتَّى إِذَا جَاءَتِ السَّاعَةُ تَذْكُرُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا قُلْتُهُ لَكُمْ. وَلَمْ أَقُلْ لَكُمْ مِنَ الْبِدَايَةِ لأَنِّي كُنْتُ مَعَكُمْ.
وَقَالَ لَهُمْ:«هذَا هُوَ الْكَلاَمُ الَّذِي كَلَّمْتُكُمْ بِهِ وَأَنَا بَعْدُ مَعَكُمْ: أَنَّهُ لاَ بُدَّ أَنْ يَتِمَّ جَمِيعُ مَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ عَنِّي فِي نَامُوسِ مُوسَى وَالأَنْبِيَاءِ وَالْمَزَامِيرِ».
فَلَمَّا جَاءُوا إِلَيْهِ قَالَ لَهُمْ:«أَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ مِنْ أَوَّلِ يَوْمٍ دَخَلْتُ أَسِيَّا، كَيْفَ كُنْتُ مَعَكُمْ كُلَّ الزَّمَانِ،
