2 Thessalonians 3:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 [a]We warn you, brethren, in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walked inordinately, and not after the instruction, which he received of us.
7 [b]For ye yourselves know, (A)how ye ought to follow us: (B)for we behaved not ourselves inordinately among you,
8 Neither took we bread of any man for nought: but we wrought with labor and travail night and day, because we would not be chargeable to any of you.
