2 Tesalonicenses 3

It was not as if we had no authority, but this was so that we might present ourselves as an example to you, in order to imitate us.

No porque no tuviésemos potestad, sino por daros en nosotros un dechado, para que nos imitaseis.

Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.

This was not because we don’t have the right, but to make ourselves an example to you, that you should imitate us.
