We

Now we give you orders, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from all those whose behaviour is not well ordered and in harmony with the teaching which they had from us.

That with

Issachar is a strong ass stretched out among the flocks:

Better a bit of dry bread in peace, than a house full of feasting and violent behaviour.

One hand full of rest is better than two hands full of trouble and desire for wind.

Let him who was a thief be so no longer, but let him do good work with his hands, so that he may have something to give to him who is in need.

And that you may take pride in being quiet and doing your business, working with your hands as we gave you orders;

For kings and all those in authority; so that we may have a calm and quiet life in all fear of God and serious behaviour.

Eat

And we did not take food from any man for nothing, but were working hard night and day not to be a trouble to any of you:

Give us every day bread for our needs.

General references

Man goes out to his work, and to his business, till the evening.

Give us this day bread for our needs.
