2 Thessalonians 3:9

American King James Version (1999)

Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample to you to follow us.

See the chapter Copy

Nor money for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.

For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.

Why I beseech you, be you followers of me.

Let him that is taught in the word communicate to him that teaches in all good things.

Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.

For yourselves know how you ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;

For even hereunto were you called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow his steps:

Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.
