Charles Spurgeon Commentary 2 Thessalonians 3:12

"Now them that are such we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread." — 2 Thessalonians 3:12 (ASV)

The best bread and the sweetest is our own. We are to work for it. We are to work with quietness. I suppose to some that is very hard work, but they must labour after it, for quietness is a Christian grace; it is indeed a high Christian attainment.
