6 nor did we seek praise from mortals, whether from you or from others,(A)
8 and we did not eat anyone’s bread without paying for it, but with toil and labor we worked night and day so that we might not burden any of you.(A)
9 This was not because we do not have that right but in order to give you an example to imitate.(A)
