⁹ For you remember, brothers, ^(A)our labor and toil: we ^(B)worked night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you, while we proclaimed to you the gospel of God.

^33 (A)I coveted no one's silver or gold or apparel. ^34 (B)You yourselves know that ^(C)these hands ministered to my necessities and ^(D)to those who were with me. ³⁵ In all things ^(E)I have shown you that ^(F)by working hard in this way we must ^(G)help the weak and ^(H)remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed ^(I)to give than to receive.’”

⁶ For ^(A)I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my ^(B)departure has come. ^7 (C)I have fought the good fight, ^(D)I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. ⁸ Henceforth there is ^(E)laid up for me ^(F)the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, ^(G)the righteous judge, will award to me on ^(H)that day, and not only to me but also to all ^(I)who have loved his appearing.
