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

我们并不是没有权利接受供应，而是要给你们树立学习的榜样。

非我無權、第自為模楷、俾爾效我、

非不能使爾供我、第為是模楷、欲爾曹則傚、

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 the right to this, but in order to offer ourselves as a role model for you, so that you would follow our example.

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 us, for we were not disorderly among you;

Do we have no right to eat and drink?Do we have no right to take along a believing wife, as do also the other apostles, the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?Or is it only Barnabas and I who have no right to refrain from working?Who ever goes to war at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat of its fruit? Or who tends a flock and does not drink of the milk of the flock?Do I say these things as a mere man? Or does not the law say the same also?For it is written in the law of Moses,“ You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain.” Is it oxen God is concerned about?Or does He say it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written, that he who plows should plow in hope, and he who threshes in hope should be partaker of his hope.If we have sown spiritual things for you, is it a great thing if we reap your material things?If others are partakers of this right over you, are we not even more? Nevertheless we have not used this right, but endure all things lest we hinder the gospel of Christ.Do you not know that those who minister the holy things eat of the things of the temple, and those who serve at the altar partake of the offerings of the altar?Even so the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should live from the gospel.

Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches.

Nor did we seek glory from men, either from you or from others, when we might have made demands as apostles of Christ.

For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.

For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps:

nor bag for your journey, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor staffs; for a worker is worthy of his food.
