"For yourselves know how ye ought to imitate us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you; "
— 2 Thessalonians 3:7, American Standard Version
“For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;”
“For you know how you ought to imitate us. For we didn't behave ourselves rebelliously among you,”
“For you know yourselves how you must imitate us, because we did not behave without discipline among you,”
“For yourselves know how you ought to imitate us. For we were not disorderly among you.”
“For you yourselves are used to taking us as your example, because our life among you was ruled by order,”
“For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;”
And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command.
And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patience of Christ.
Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which they received of us.
For yourselves know how ye ought to imitate us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;
neither did we eat bread for nought at any man’s hand, but in labor and travail, working night and day, that we might not burden any of you:
not because we have not the right, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you, that ye should imitate us.
For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, If any will not work, neither let him eat.
