2 Thessalonians 3:7-9

Authorized (King James) Version

⁷ For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you; ⁸ neither did we eat any man’s bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you: ⁹ not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.
