2 Thessalonians 3:7–9

7 For you yourselves know how you should imitatej us: We were not idle among you; 8 we did not eatk anyone’s food free of charge;l instead, we laboredm and toiled,n workingo night and day, so that we would not be a burdenp to any of you. 9 It is not that we don’t have the rightq to support, but we did it to make ourselves an example to you so that you would imitater us.
