2 Thessalonians 3:7
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us, because we were not undisciplined among you,
In context
5 May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance.
6 Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from any brother who leads an undisciplined life that is not in keeping with the tradition you received from us.
7 For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us, because we were not undisciplined among you,
8 nor did we eat anyone’s food without paying for it. Instead, in labor and toil, we worked night and day so that we would not be a burden to any of you.
9 Not that we lack this right, but we wanted to offer ourselves as an example for you to imitate.
