What does the Bible say about idleness?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible instructs us not to be idle but to work diligently, as seen in 2 Thessalonians 3:6-10.

The Apostle Paul emphasizes in 2 Thessalonians 3:6-10 that Christians should withdraw from those who are idle and do not follow sound teaching. Paul states, 'if any man would not work, neither should he eat,' indicating that productive labor is both a duty and a means of honoring God. He models this by laboring night and day, demonstrating that hard work is an expectation for all believers, not just leaders.
