2 Thessalonians 3:13

But ye, brethren, be not weary in well-doing. Lipscomb has a precious comment on this, thus:

While Paul who commands all who are able to eat their own bread, be quiet, and not to meddle, he cautions them not to cease to render assistance to the needy, to do good to all, as the opportunity affords. This is in perfect harmony with the foregoing instructions. Nothing discourages giving to the needy like having the lazy and meddlesome seeking support.[18]
