2 Thessalonians 3:7-9
Wycliffe Bible
7 For ye yourselves know, how it behooveth to follow us. For we were not unpeaceable among you [For we were not unquiet, or unpeaceable, among you],
8 neither without our own travail we ate bread of any man, but in travail and weariness wrought night and day, that we grieved none of you [but in travail and weariness night and day working, that we grieve none of you].
9 Not as we had not power, but that we should give us selves [but that we should give ourselves] [an] ensample to you to follow us.

2 Thessalonians 3:7-9
New International Version
7 For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example.(A) We were not idle when we were with you, 8 nor did we eat anyone’s food without paying for it. On the contrary, we worked(B) night and day, laboring and toiling so that we would not be a burden to any of you. 9 We did this, not because we do not have the right to such help,(C) but in order to offer ourselves as a model for you to imitate.(D)
