2 Thessalonians 3:8-10

Jubilee Bible 2000

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.

¹⁰ For even when we were with you, this we declared unto you, that if anyone desires not to work neither should he eat.
