1 Thessalonians 2:9
9 Our Christian friends, remember how we worked so hard to help you. We worked during the day and even during the night. We did not want to cause any problems for you. So we taught you God's good news and we did not ask you to give us anything in return.
2:9While Paul, Silas and Timothy were at Thessalonica, they worked to get some money. We do not know the kind of work that they did. But we know that Paul could make tents. See Acts 18:3.
