Do not you remember how, when I was with you, I used to speak to you of all this?

In conclusion, Brothers, pray for us--pray that the Lord's Message may spread rapidly, and be received everywhere with honour, as it was among you;

For you know well that you ought to follow our example. When we were with you, our life was not ill-ordered,

This was not because we had not a right to receive support, but our object was to give you a pattern for you to copy.

Indeed, when we were with you, what we urged upon you was-- 'If a man does not choose to work, then he shall not eat.'
