‏ 2 Thessalonians 3:8-9

3:8  a without paying for it: Although Paul taught that workers in the Christian church could receive pay for their labor (3:9  b; see Matt 10:10  c; 1 Cor 9:7-14  d; 1 Tim 5:17-18  e), he did not take advantage of that privilege (1 Thes 2:9  f; 2 Thes 3:6-10  g).
3:9  h Paul had distanced himself from others in the culture who were motivated by fame and money (1 Thes 2:5  i).
