NASB
"For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example, because we did not act in an undisciplined manner among you,"
— 2 Thessalonians 3:7, NASB
“For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;”
“For yourselves know how ye ought to imitate 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;”
We have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that you are doing and will continue to do what we command.
May the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the steadfastness of Christ.
Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep away from every brother who leads an unruly life and not according to the tradition which you received from us.
For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example, because we did not act in an undisciplined manner among you,
nor did we eat anyone's bread without paying for it, but with labor and hardship we kept working night and day so that we would not be a burden to any of you;
not because we do not have the right to this, but in order to offer ourselves as a model for you, so that you would follow our example.
For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order: if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either.
