2 Thessalonians 3:7-9 For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example. We were not idle when we were with you,

VIN⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example. We were not idle when we were with 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 We did this, not because we do not have the right to such help, but in order to make ourselves an example for you to follow.
