not because we do not have the right to this, but in order to offer ourselves as a role model for you, so that you would follow our example.

我儕如此、非因無權使爾供我、乃為爾自作模範、使爾效我儕、

吾人非無權要求供養也；顧欲以身作則、俾爾等知所取法耳。

We did this, not because we do not have the right to such help, but in order to offer ourselves as a model for you to imitate.

We worked, even though we have the right to receive help from you. We did it in order to be a model for you to follow.

It was not because we do not have that right, but to give you in ourselves an example to imitate.

We certainly had the right to ask you to feed us, but we wanted to give you an example to follow.

It is not that we don’t have the right to support, but we did it to make ourselves an example to you so that you would imitate us.

not because we do not have authority, but to make ourselves an example of how you should follow us.

not because we have not the right, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you, that ye should imitate us.

It is not that we don’t have the right to support, but we did it to make ourselves an example to you so that you would imitate us.

Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.

It was not because we do not have that right, but to give ourselves as an example for you to imitate.

not because we don’t have the right, but to make ourselves an example to you, that you should imitate us.

For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example, because we did not act in an undisciplined way among you,

Do we not have a right to eat and drink?Do we not have a right to take along a believing wife, even as the rest of the apostles and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?Or do only Barnabas and I have no right to refrain from working?Who at any time serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat its fruit? Or who tends a flock and does not consume some of the milk of the flock?I am not just asserting these things according to human judgment, am I? Or does the Law not say these things as well?For it is written in the Law of Moses:“ You shall not muzzle the ox while it is threshing.” God is not concerned about oxen, is He?Or is He speaking entirely for our sake? Yes, it was written for our sake, because the plowman ought to plow in hope, and the thresher to thresh in hope of sharing in the crops.If we sowed spiritual things in you, is it too much if we reap material things from you?If others share the right over you, do we not more? Nevertheless, we did not use this right, but we endure all things so that we will cause no hindrance to the gospel of Christ.Do you not know that those who perform sacred services eat the food of the temple, and those who attend regularly to the altar have their share from the altar?So also the Lord directed those who proclaim the gospel to get their living from the gospel.

The one who is taught the word is to share all good things with the one who teaches him.

nor did we seek honor from people, either from you or from others, though we could have asserted our authority as apostles of Christ.

For I gave you an example, so that you also would do just as I did for you.

For you have been called for this purpose, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you would follow in His steps,

or a bag for your journey, or even two tunics, or sandals, or a staff; for the worker is deserving of his support.
