2 Thessalonians 3:7-9 For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us, because we were not undisciplined among you,

BSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us, because we were not undisciplined among you, ⁸ nor did we eat anyone’s food without paying for it. Instead, in labor and toil, we worked night and day so that we would not be a burden to any of you. ⁹ Not that we lack this right, but we wanted to offer ourselves as an example for you to imitate.
