TEXT 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12 NIV

[11] .....make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you, [12] 12 so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody. …

Paul advised the Thessalonian church to man their own business. 

God commands all of us to work ...and work hard too.
