2 Thessalonians 3:9

King James 2000

Not because we have not that right, but to make ourselves an example unto you to follow us.

See the chapter Copy

Nor bag for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet a staff: for the workman is worthy of his food.

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

Therefore I beseech you, be followers of me.

Let him that is taught in the word share with 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 you yourselves know how you ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;

For even to this 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 examples to the flock.
