2 Thessalonians 3:9

Not because we have not power; but that we might make ourselves an example to you, that ye might imitate us.

Have we not power to eat and to drink?

For yourselves know how ye ought to imitate us: we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you,

Nor sought we glory of men, neither from you, nor from others, when we might have been burdensome, as the Apostles of Christ.

for the workman is worthy of his maintenance.

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

Let him that is taught in the word impart to him that teacheth in all good things.

For even hereunto are ye called; for Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that ye might follow his steps:
