A man who does not work does not eat?

According to 2 Thessalonians 3: 10 which reads. "If anyone does not want to work, neither let him eat. Those Words came from the Apostle Paul, whch was an exhortation to proper conduct and which showed that the congregation was not under obligation to provide materially for those who were able to work but refused to do so.

Clearly Jehovah God expects us to be consistent, to act in harmony with our prayers. We can not expect our heavenly Father to answer our prayers without our doing anything about it. That is why we can read in Proverbs 13: 4 which reads. "The lazy person has his cravings, yet he has nothing. But the diligent one will be fully satisfied."

This saying has nothing to do with someone who wants to work but may be unemployed, sick, or too old to work.
