2 Thessalonians 3:9

Modern English Version

We did this, not because we did not have that right, but to make ourselves an example for you to follow.

See the chapter Copy

nor bag for your journey, nor two tunics, nor shoes, nor even staffs. For the workman is worthy of his keep.

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

So I implore you, be followers of me.

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

Nor did we seek glory from men, either from you, or from others, even though we might have made demands as the apostles of Christ.

For you know how you should follow us. For we were not idle among you,

For to this you were called, because Christ suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps:

Do not lord over those in your charge, but be examples to the flock.
