1 Thessalonians 2:6-8
New International Version
1 Thessalonians 2:6-8
New International Version
6 We were not looking for praise from people,(A) not from you or anyone else, even though as apostles(B) of Christ we could have asserted our authority.(C) 7 Instead, we were like young children[a] among you.
Just as a nursing mother cares for her children,(D) 8 so we cared for you. Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God(E) but our lives as well.(F)
