2 Thessalonians 3:9

not that we have not a right [to a support], but that we may make ourselves an example for you to follow us.

Have we not a right to eat and drink?

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

neither did we seek glory of men, either of you or of others, when we might have been burdensome as apostles of Christ;

nor a provision sack for the way, nor two coats, nor shoes, nor staves; for the laborer is worthy of his support;

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

Let him that is taught the word communicate with him that teaches of all good things.

For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you a copy that you should follow his steps,

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

nor a provision sack for the way, nor two coats, nor shoes, nor staves; for the laborer is worthy of his support;

Have we not a right to eat and drink?

Let him that is taught the word communicate with him that teaches of all good things.

neither did we seek glory of men, either of you or of others, when we might have been burdensome as apostles of Christ;

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

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

For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you a copy that you should follow his steps,

I exhort you therefore, be followers of me.
