1TH 2:9

9 My fellow believers, you remember that we worked very hard [DOU] [in order to] ◄[support ourselves/earn money to buy what we needed]► [while we were with you]. We worked [during the] day and [also at] night in order that we would not have to ask any one of you to give us what we needed, [while] we proclaimed to you the good message that God [gave us].
