2 Thessalonians 3:7-9

Tree of Life Version

⁷ For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us, for we did not behave inappropriately among you. ⁸ And we did not eat anyone’s bread without paying for it, but worked night and day with labor and hardship, so as not to burden any of you. ⁹ It wasn’t that we had no right, but rather to offer ourselves as an example for you to imitate.
