and because he was a tentmaker as they were, he stayed and worked with them.

They were tentmakers, just as he was. So he stayed and worked with them.

and because he was of the same trade he stayed with them and worked, for they were tentmakers by trade.

Paul lived and worked with them, for they were tentmakers just as he was.

and since they were of the same occupation, tentmakers by trade, he stayed with them and worked.

So, because he was of the same trade, he stayed with them and worked; for by occupation they were tentmakers.

and because he was of the same trade, he abode with them, and they wrought; for by their trade they were tentmakers.

and being of the same occupation, stayed with them and worked, for they were tentmakers by trade.

And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.

and because he worked at the same trade, he stayed with them and worked with them( for they were tentmakers by trade).

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

For you recall, brothers and sisters, our labor and hardship: it was by working night and day so as not to be a burden to any of you, that we proclaimed to you the gospel of God.

and we labor, working with our own hands; when we are verbally abused, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it;

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 role model for you, so that you would follow our example.

and when I was present with you and was in need, I was not a burden to anyone; for when the brothers came from Macedonia they fully supplied my need, and in everything I kept myself from being a burden to you, and will continue to do so.

You yourselves know that these hands served my own needs and the men who were with me.In everything I showed you that by working hard in this way you must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said,‘ It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ”

For in what respect were you treated as inferior to the rest of the churches, except that I myself did not become a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong!

Or did I commit a sin by humbling myself so that you might be exalted, because I preached the gospel of God to you without charge?

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.
