We Were Not Idle When We Were With You, Nor Did We Eat Anyone's Food Without Paying For It.

We were not idle when we were with you, nor did we eat anyone's food
without paying for it. On the contrary, we worked night and day, laboring
and toiling so that we would not be a burden to any of you. We did this,
not because we do not have the right to such help, but in order to make
ourselves a model for you to follow. For even when we were with you, we
gave you this rule: If a man will not work, he shall not eat.
-- 2 Thessalonians 3:7-10
