labor and hardship we kept

working night and day so that we

would not be a burden to any ofyou;

2 Thessalonians 3:8



67/109

not because we do not have the

right to this, but in order toofferourselves as a model for you, so

you are leading an undisciplinedlife, doing no work at all, but

therewith to be content.


81/109
