⁸ Neither did we eat any man's bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you:

⁹ For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for labouring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.

³ And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.

¹¹ And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;

²⁸ Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.

¹² Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.

⁹ And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all things I have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself.

¹² And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:

³⁴ Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.

¹¹ Give us this day our daily bread.

²⁷ She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
