1 Thessalonians 2:7-9
7But we 1proved to be 23gentle 4among you. 5As a nursing mother 6tenderly cares for her own children, 8in the same way we had a fond affection for you and were delighted to 7share with you not only the 8gospel of God, but also our own 9lives, because you had become 10very dear to us.
9For you recall, brothers and sisters, our 11labor and hardship: it was by 12working night and day so as not to be a 13burden to any of you, that we proclaimed to you the 14gospel of God.
