2 Thessalonians 3:8-10
Revised Geneva Translation
8 Nor did we take food from anyone for nothing. But we worked with labor and travail night and day because we did not wish to be a burden to any of you.
9 Not because we do not have authority, but so that we might make ourselves an example for you to follow.
10 For even when we were with you, we warned you of this; that if there were any who would not work, he should not eat.

2 Thessalonians 3:8-10
New International Version
8 nor did we eat anyone’s food without paying for it. On the contrary, we worked(A) 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,(B) but in order to offer ourselves as a model for you to imitate.(C) 10 For even when we were with you,(D) we gave you this rule: “The one who is unwilling to work(E) shall not eat.”
