1 Thessalonians 2:6-8

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁶ Nor sought we glory of men, neither of you, nor of others.

⁷ Whereas we might have been burdensome to you, as the apostles of Christ: but we became little ones in the midst of you, as if a nurse should cherish her children:

⁸ So desirous of you, we would gladly impart unto you not only the gospel of God, but also our own souls: because you were become most dear unto us.
