Not because we have not that right, but to make ourselves an example unto you to follow us.
All Commentaries on 2 Thessalonians 3:9 Go To 2 Thessalonians 3
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
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)
