2 Thessalonians 3:7-9

Christian Standard Bible

⁷ For you yourselves know how you should imitate^(A) us: We were not idle among you; ⁸ we did not eat^(B) anyone’s food free of charge;^(C) instead, we labored^(D) and toiled,^(E) working^(F) night and day, so that we would not be a burden^(G) to any of you. ⁹ It is not that we don’t have the right^(H) to support, but we did it to make ourselves an example to you so that you would imitate^(I) us.
