2 Thessalonians 3:8-10

Revised Geneva Translation

⁸ Nor did we take food from anyone for nothing. But we worked with labor and travail night and day because we did not wish to be a burden to any of you.

⁹ Not because we do not have authority, but so that we might make ourselves an example for you to follow.

¹⁰ For even when we were with you, we warned you of this; that if there were any who would not work, he should not eat.
