2 Thessalonians 3:7-9 For ye yourselves know how ye ought to imitate us; for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you,

Noyes⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ For ye yourselves know how ye ought to imitate us; for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you, ⁸ neither did we eat any mans bread for nought, but were working with labor and travail night and day, that we might not be burdensome to any of you. ⁹ Not because we have not authority, but to make ourselves an example to you, that ye should imitate us.
