Why not just follow the Apostle Pauls preaching/teaching?
2Th 3:7 For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;
2Th 3:8 Neither did we eat any man's bread for naught; but wrought with labor and travail night and day, that we might not be chargable to any of you:
2Th 3:9 Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an example unto you to follow us.
Heb 13:7 Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God:
whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.
