Through slothfulness the roof deteriorates, and a house leaks because of idleness.

In the name of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, we command you, brothers, to keep away from every brother who is living in idleness and not living according to the tradition that they received from us.

For you yourselves know what you must do to imitate us. We never lived in idleness among you.

We hear that some of you are living in idleness. You are not busy working you are busy interfering in other people's lives!
