2 Corinthians 6:3-10

3 We ^aput no obstacle in anyone’s way, so that no fault may be found with our ministry, 4 but ^bas servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: ^cby great endurance, ^din afflictions, ^ehardships, calamities, 5 ^fbeatings, imprisonments, ^griots, labors, sleepless nights, hunger; 6 ^hby purity, ⁱknowledge, patience, kindness, ^jthe Holy Spirit, ^kgenuine love; 7 by ^ltruthful speech, and ^mthe power of God; with ⁿthe weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for the left; 8 through honor and dishonor, ^othrough slander and praise. We are treated as impostors, and yet are true; 9 as unknown, and ^pyet well known; ^qas dying, and behold, we live; ^ras punished, and yet not killed; 10 ^sas sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; ^tas poor, yet making many rich; ^uas having nothing, ^vyet possessing everything.

Philippians 4:9

9 What you have learned and ^wreceived and heard and seen ^xin me—practice these things, and ^ythe God of peace will be with you.

2 Thessalonians 3:7-9

7 For you yourselves know ^zhow you ought to imitate us, because ^aawe were not idle when we were with you, 8 nor did we eat anyone’s bread without paying for it, but ^abwith toil and labor we worked night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you. 9 It was ^acnot because we do not have that right, but to give you in ourselves ^adan example to imitate.

1 Timothy 4:12-16

12 ^aeLet no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers ^afan example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity. 13 Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, to teaching. 14 ^agDo not neglect the gift you have, which was given you ^ahby prophecy when the council of elders ^ailaid their hands on you. 15 Practice these things, immerse yourself in them, ^{▼▼Greek be in them} so that ^akall may see your progress. 16 ^alKeep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching. Persist in this, for by so doing you will save ^amboth yourself and ^anyour hearers.

1 Peter 5:3

3 not ^aodomineering over those in your charge, but ^apbeing examples to the flock.
