2 Thessalonians 3:9
Douay-Rheims
Not as if we had not power: but that we might give ourselves a pattern unto you, to imitate us.
George Leo Haydock
If I, to whom you are indebted for the preaching of the gospel, have yielded my claims, unwilling to receive any thing from you, and even labouring with my own hands for the necessaries of life, how are those to be borne with who do nothing, and yet will be supported at another’s expense? for St. Paul had witnessed amongst them some of this idle disposition. (Estius)
