2 Thessalonians 3:7-9

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁷ For you know in what manner you ought to imitate us, for we did not walk disorderly among you,

⁸ neither did we eat any man’s bread for nought, but working with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you,

⁹ Not because we did not have authority, but to give you an example that you might imitate us.
