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)

6 (A)Nor did we seek glory from men, either from you or from others, when (B)we might have (C)made demands (D)as apostles of Christ. 7 But (E)we were gentle among you, just as a nursing mother cherishes her own children. 8 So, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased (F)to impart to you not only the gospel of God, but also (G)our own lives, because you had become dear to us.

Svenska 1917
6 Ej heller hava vi sökt pris av människor, vare sig av eder eller av andra,
7 fastän vi såsom Kristi apostlar väl hade kunnat uppträda med myndighet. Tvärtom hava vi visat oss milda bland eder, såsom när en moder omhuldar sina späda barn.
8 I sådan ömhet om eder ville vi gärna icke allenast göra också eder delaktiga av Guds evangelium, utan till och med offra våra liv för eder, ty I haden blivit oss kära.
