1 Thessalonians 2:9-12

9For you remember our labor and hardship, brothers and sisters. Working night and day so that we would not burden any of you, we preached God’s gospel to you.

10You are witnesses, and so is God, of how devoutly, righteously, and blamelessly we conducted ourselves with you believers.

11As you know, like a father with his own children,

12we encouraged, comforted, and implored each one of you to walk worthy of God, who calls you into his own kingdom and glory.
