1 Thessalonians 2:6-8

Worldwide English (New Testament)

⁶ And we did not ask you or anybody else to help us or to praise us. Of course, we are apostles of Christ, and we had the right to do so.

⁷ But we were kind when we were with you. We were like a woman taking care of her own children.

⁸ Because we loved you, we were glad to give you God's good news. We were also glad to give you our lives, because we loved you very much.
