"If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat." Have you ever heard someone use this verse (from 2 Thessalonians 3:10) as a justification to not give money or food to someone who appears to be poor and lazy? Was St. Paul writing this to those who sat around waiting for handouts? Is this verse directed to poor freeloaders? Listen to an explanation from Fr. Stephen De Young, host of The Whole Counsel of God podcast.
