1 Thessalonians 2:6-8

Revised Geneva Translation

⁶ Nor did we seek the praise of man - either by you or by others - when we might have imposed on you as the Apostles of Christ.

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

⁸ Having this affection toward you, it was our pleasure to have shared with you not only the Gospel of God, but also our own souls, because you were dear to us.
