2 Thessalonians 3:7-9
7For you yourselves know how you ought to 12follow our example, because we did not act in an undisciplined way among you,
8nor did we 3eat 4anyone’s bread 5without paying for it, but with 6labor and hardship we kept 7working night and day so that we would not be a burden to any of you;
9not because we do not have 8the right to this, but in order to offer ourselves 9as a role model for you, so that you would 10follow our example.
