2 Thessalonians 3:8-9 nor did we eat bread freely from anyone, but in labor and hardship, working night and day, that we might not burden anyone of you;

MLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ nor did we eat bread freely from anyone, but in labor and hardship, working night and day, that we might not burden anyone of you; ⁹ not because we did not have the authority, but in order that we might give ourselves as an example to you, that you might imitate us.
