1 Thessalonians 2:6-8

21st Century King James Version

⁶ nor sought we glory from men, neither from you nor yet from others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.

⁷ But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children.

⁸ So being affectionately desirous for you, we were willing to have imparted unto you not the Gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us.
