2 Thessalonians 3:9

Word of Yahweh

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

See the chapter Copy

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

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

Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.

Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.

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

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

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

Neither as domineering over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.
