Don’t lord it over the people assigned to your care, but lead them by your own good example.

Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.

We reject all shameful deeds and underhanded methods. We don’t try to trick anyone or distort the word of God. We tell the truth before God, and all who are honest know this.

We can say with confidence and a clear conscience that we have lived with a God given holiness and sincerity in all our dealings. We have depended on God’s grace, not on our own human wisdom. That is how we have conducted ourselves before the world, and especially toward you.

For I want you to understand what really matters, so that you may live pure and blameless lives until the day of Christ’s return.

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

You see, we are not like the many hucksters who preach for personal profit. We preach the word of God with sincerity and with Christ’s authority, knowing that God is watching us.

May God’s grace be eternally upon all who love our Lord Jesus Christ.

I am not commanding you to do this. But I am testing how genuine your love is by comparing it with the eagerness of the other churches.

“ I have never coveted anyone’s silver or gold or fine clothes.You know that these hands of mine have worked to supply my own needs and even the needs of those who were with me.And I have been a constant example of how you can help those in need by working hard. You should remember the words of the Lord Jesus:‘ It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
