2 Thessalonians 3:9

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

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

Have we not the right to eat and to drink?

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

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

Man goes forth unto his work and to his labor until the evening.

Therefore I beseech you, be followers of me.
