2 THESSALONIANS 3:8 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“Neither did we eat any man’s bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you:”
Nor did we eat anyone's bread without paying for it, but with toil and labor we worked night and day, that we might not burden any of you — Paul's self-support through manual labor is deliberate and costly. 'Night and day' (nykta kai hēmeran) emphasizes relentless work; he will not be a financial burden (baros) to the community.
