1 Thessalonians 2:6-8
New American Standard Bible 1995

6 nor did we (A)seek glory from men, either from you or from others, even though as (B)apostles of Christ [a]we might have [b]asserted our authority. 7 But we [c]proved to be [d](C)gentle [e]among you, (D)as a nursing mother [f]tenderly cares for her own children. 8 Having so fond an affection for you, we were well-pleased to (E)impart to you not only the (F)gospel of God but also our own [g]lives, because you had become [h]very dear to us.
