2 Thessalonians 3:8

¹¹Give us today our daily bread.

⁹For you remember, brothers, our labor and travail; for working night and day, that we might not burden any of you, we preached to you the Good News of God.

³and because he practiced the same trade, he lived with them and worked, for by trade they were tent makers.

²⁸Let him who stole steal no more; but rather let him labor, producing with his hands something that is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need.

¹²We toil, working with our own hands. When people curse us, we bless. Being persecuted, we endure.

¹¹and that you make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, even as we instructed you,

¹²Now those who are that way, we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ, that they work with quietness and eat their own bread.

⁹When I was present with you and was in need, I wasn’t a burden on anyone, for the brothers, when they came from Macedonia, supplied the measure of my need. In everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and I will continue to do so.

³⁴You yourselves know that these hands served my necessities, and those who were with me.

²⁷She looks well to the ways of her household, and doesn’t eat the bread of idleness.
