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.
