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 yet scrip towards your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet a staff: for the workman is worthy to have his meat.

Have we not power to eat and to drink?

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

neither sought we praise of men, neither of you, nor yet of any other, when we might have been chargeable, as the apostles of Christ.

Ye yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: For we behaved not ourselves inordinately among you.

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

For hereunto verily were ye called, for Christ also suffered for us: leaving us an example that ye should follow his steps,

Then goeth forth man to his work, and to till his land until the evening.

Wherefore I desire you to follow me.
