2 Thessalonians 3:7-9

Young's Literal Translation

⁷ for yourselves have known how it behoveth [you] to imitate us, because we did not act disorderly among you;

⁸ nor for nought did we eat bread of any one, but in labour and in travail, night and day working, not to be chargeable to any of you;

⁹ not because we have not authority, but that ourselves a pattern we might give to you, to imitate us;
