³³ When I was with you, I never ·wanted [coveted] anyone’s ·money [^Lsilver or gold] or fine clothes [Ex. 20:17; Deut. 5:21; 1 Sam. 12:3]. ³⁴ You [^Lyourselves] know I always worked [^Lwith my own hands] to take care of my own needs and the needs of those who were with me. ³⁵ I ·showed [provided an example to] you ·in all things [in everything I did] that you should work as I did and help the weak. I taught you to remember the words Jesus said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive [^Ca saying of Jesus not recorded elsewhere in Scripture].’”
