2 Thessalonians 3:7 in Context — 2 Thessalonians 3

5 E o Senhor guie vossos corações para o amor de Deus e a paciência de Cristo.

6 Mas nós vos mandamos, irmãos, no nome de nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo, que mantenhais distância de todo irmão que anda desordenadamente, e não segundo a tradição que recebeu de nós.

7 Porque vós mesmos sabeis como deveis nos imitar; porque nós não fomos desordenados entre vós;

8 Nem comemos de graça o pão de qualquer um, mas sim com trabalho e cansaço trabalhamos de noite e de dia, para não sermos incômodos a nenhum de vós.

9 Não porque não tivéssemos autoridade [para fazer isso] , mas porque nós mesmos dávamos exemplo a vós, para [assim] nos imitardes.
