2 Thessalonians 3:7-9 For you, yourselves, know how you ought to follow our example, for we did not live in idleness when we were among you;

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ For you, yourselves, know how you ought to follow our example, for we did not live in idleness when we were among you; ⁸ neither did we eat anyone’s food without paying for it. But by hard labor and toil, we worked night and day so as not to be a burden to any of you. ⁹ [We did this], not because we did not have a right [to support], but so we could become an example for you to imitate.
