2 Thessalonians 3:7-12
7For you yourselvesG846 knowG3609 howG4459 you oughtG1163 to 12followG3401 our exampleG3401, becauseG3754 we did not actG812 inG812 anG812 undisciplinedG812 wayG812 amongG1722 you,
8norG3761 did we 3eatG2068 4anyone’sG3844G5100 breadG740 5withoutG1432 payingG1432 for it, but with 6laborG2873 and hardshipG3449 we kept 7workingG2038 nightG3571 and dayG2250 soG4314 thatG4314 we would not be a burdenG1912 to anyG5100 of you;
9not becauseG3754 we do not haveG2192 8the rightG1849 to this, but inG2443 orderG2443 toG2443 offerG1325 ourselvesG1438 9as a roleG5179 modelG5179 for you, soG1519 thatG1519 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, then he is not to eatG2068, eitherG3366.
11For we hearG191 that someG5100 amongG1722 you are 13leadingG4043 an undisciplinedG814 lifeG4043, doingG2038 noG3367 workG2038 atG3367 allG3367, but actingG4020 likeG4020 14busybodiesG4020.
12NowG1161 we commandG3853 and 15exhortG3870 suchG5108 personsG5108 in the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 to 16workG2038 17peacefullyG2271 and eatG2068 their ownG1438 breadG740.
