2 Th 3:6
Now we command you,
brothers and sisters,
in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

because we did not act in an undisciplined way among you,

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.

Paul told them to follow his example.
Paul says this several times in his letters to the Thessalonians.

He told them that he was a role model for them.
Think on this.

We are to live in such a way that we can exhort people to follow the example we set.
We are to be role models.

Do we do so?

This is not religious, pious arrogance.
This is the way of the Lord.

Iron sharpening iron.

We have lost much by not doing this…
