American Standard Version
1 Thessalonians 2:5-8
5For neither at any timeG4218 were we found using wordsG3056 of flattery, as ye know, nor a cloak of covetousnessG4124, GodG2316 is witnessG3144;
6nor seekingG2212 gloryG1391 of menG444, neither from you nor from othersG243, whenG5613 we might have claimed authority as apostlesG652 of ChristG5547.
7But we wereG1510 gentle in the midstG3319 of you, as whenG5613 a nurse cherisheth her ownG1438 childrenG5043:
8evenG2532 so, being affectionately desirous of you, we were well pleased to impartG3330 unto you, not the gospelG2098 of GodG2316 onlyG3440, but alsoG2532 our ownG1438 soulsG5590, because ye were becomeG1096 very dear to us.
