2 Thessalonians 3:7-9 For ye yourselves know how it is necessary to imitate us. Because we did not act disorderly among you,

ACV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ For ye yourselves know how it is necessary to imitate us. Because we did not act disorderly among you, ⁸ nor did we eat bread gratis from any man, but in labor and toil, working night and day in order not to burden any of you. ⁹ Not because we have no right, but that we might give ourselves an example to you, in order to imitate us.
