2 Thessalonians 3:9

English Majority Text Version

not because we do not have authority, but in order that we may give ourselves as a pattern to you, so that you might follow us.

See the chapter Copy

not a knapsack for the road, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor staffs; for a worker is worthy of his food.

For I gave you an example, that just as I did to you, you also should do.

Therefore I exhort you, be imitators of me.

Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches.

Nor seeking glory from men, neither from you, nor from others, even though we were able to carry weight as apostles of Christ.

For you yourselves know how you ought to follow us, for we were not disorderly among you;

For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving behind an example for you, that you should follow in His footsteps,

nor as being masters over the flock under you, but rather being examples to the flock.
