2 Thessalonians 3:6-9
6NowG1161 we commandG3853 you, brethrenG80, 1in the nameG3686 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, that you 23keepG4724 awayG4724 from everyG3956 brotherG80 who 4leadsG4043 an 56unrulyG814 lifeG4043 and not accordingG2596 to 7the traditionG3862 whichG3739 8you receivedG3880 from us.
7For you yourselvesG846 knowG3609 howG4459 you oughtG1163 to 910followG3401 our exampleG3401, becauseG3754 we did not actG812 in an undisciplinedG812 mannerG812 amongG1722 you,
8norG3761 did we 11eatG2068 12anyone’sG3844G5100 breadG740 13withoutG1431 payingG1431 for it, but with 14laborG2873 and hardshipG3449 we kept 15workingG2038 nightG3571 and dayG2250 soG4314 that we would not be a burdenG1912 to anyG5100 of you;
9not becauseG3754 we do not haveG2192 16the rightG1849 to this, but in orderG2443 to offerG1325 ourselvesG1438 17as a modelG5179 for you, soG1519 that you would 18followG3401 our exampleG3401.
