7For you yourselvesG846 knowG3609 howG4459 you oughtG1163 to 12followG3401 our exampleG3401, becauseG3754 we did not actG812 in an undisciplinedG812 mannerG812 amongG1722 you, 8norG3761 did we 3eatG2068 4anyone’sG3844G5100 breadG740 5withoutG1431 payingG1431 for it, but with 6laborG2873 and hardshipG3449 we kept 7workingG2038 nightG3571 and dayG2250 soG4314 that we would not be a burdenG1912 to anyG5100 of you; 9not becauseG3754 we do not haveG2192 8the rightG1849 to this, but in orderG2443 to offerG1325 ourselvesG1438 9as a modelG5179 for you, soG1519 that you would 10followG3401 our exampleG3401. 10For evenG2532 11whenG3753 we were with you, we used to giveG3853 you thisG3778 orderG3853: 12ifG1487 anyoneG5100 is not willingG2309 to workG2038, thenG3754 he is not to eatG2068, eitherG3366. 11For we hearG191 that someG5100 amongG1722 you are 13leadingG4043 an undisciplinedG814 lifeG4043, doingG2038 noG3367 workG2038 at allG3367, but actingG4020 likeG4020 14busybodiesG4020. 12NowG1161 suchG5108 personsG5108 we commandG3853 and 15exhortG3870 in the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 to 16workG2038 in quietG2271 fashionG2271 and eatG2068 their ownG1438 breadG740. 13But as for you, 17brethrenG80, 18do not growG1457 wearyG1457 of doingG2569 goodG2569.
