2 Thessalonians 3:7-9

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.
