33 ^rI coveted ^sno one’s silver or gold or apparel. 34 You yourselves know that these hands ministered to my necessities and to those who were with me. 35 In all things I have ^tshown you that by working hard in this way we must ^uhelp the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

12 and we ⁱlabor, working with our own hands. ^jWhen reviled, ^kwe bless; when persecuted, we endure;

9 For you remember, brothers, our ^mlabor and toil: we worked night and day, ⁿthat we might not be a burden to any of you, while we proclaimed to you the gospel of God.

8 nor did we eat anyone’s bread without paying for it, but with toil and ^flabor we worked night and day, ^gthat we might not be a burden to any of you.
