and because he was a tentmaker as they were, he stayed and worked with them.

They were tentmakers, just as he was. So he stayed and worked with them.

and because he was of the same trade he stayed with them and worked, for they were tentmakers by trade.

Paul lived and worked with them, for they were tentmakers just as he was.

and since they were of the same occupation, tentmakers by trade, he stayed with them and worked.

and because he was of the same trade he stayed with them, and they worked together, for they were tent makers by trade.

So, because he was of the same trade, he stayed with them and worked; for by occupation they were tentmakers.

and because he was of the same trade, he abode with them, and they wrought; for by their trade they were tentmakers.

and being of the same occupation, stayed with them and worked, for they were tentmakers by trade.

And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.

and because he worked at the same trade, he stayed with them and worked with them( for they were tentmakers by trade).

Surely you remember, brothers and sisters, our toil and hardship; we worked night and day in order not to be a burden to anyone while we preached the gospel of God to you. (niv)

We work hard with our own hands. When we are cursed, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it; (niv)

nor did we eat anyone’s food without paying for it. On the contrary, we worked night and day, laboring and toiling so that we would not be a burden to any of you.We did this, not because we do not have the right to such help, but in order to offer ourselves as a model for you to imitate. (niv)

And when I was with you and needed something, I was not a burden to anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied what I needed. I have kept myself from being a burden to you in any way, and will continue to do so. (niv)

You yourselves know that these hands of mine have supplied my own needs and the needs of my companions.In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said:‘ It is more blessed to give than to receive.’” (niv)

How were you inferior to the other churches, except that I was never a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong! (niv)

Was it a sin for me to lower myself in order to elevate you by preaching the gospel of God to you free of charge? (niv)

Or is it only I and Barnabas who lack the right to not work for a living?Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat its grapes? Who tends a flock and does not drink the milk?Do I say this merely on human authority? Doesn’t the Law say the same thing?For it is written in the Law of Moses:“ Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.” Is it about oxen that God is concerned?Surely he says this for us, doesn’t he? Yes, this was written for us, because whoever plows and threshes should be able to do so in the hope of sharing in the harvest.If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we reap a material harvest from you?If others have this right of support from you, shouldn’t we have it all the more? But we did not use this right. On the contrary, we put up with anything rather than hinder the gospel of Christ. (niv)
