1 Corinthians 9:14; 1 Thessalonians 2:6; 1 Thessalonians 2:9; 2 Thessalonians 3:8–9

14 In the same way, the Lord commanded that bthose who proclaim the gospel should get their living by the gospel.


uNor did we seek glory from people, whether from you or from others, vthough we could have made wdemands as xapostles of Christ.


For you remember, brothers, bour labor and toil: we cworked night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you, while we proclaimed to you the gospel of God.


nor did we eat anyone’s bread without paying for it, but ywith toil and labor we worked night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you. It was znot because we do not have that right, but to give you in ourselves aan example to imitate.
