1 Thessalonians 2:8-12

8in the same way we had a fond affection for you and were delighted to 1share with you not only the 2gospel of God, but also our own 3lives, because you had become 4very dear to us.

9For you recall, brothers and sisters, our 5labor and hardship: it was by 6working night and day so as not to be a 7burden to any of you, that we proclaimed to you the 8gospel of God. 10You are witnesses, and so is 9God, of 10how devoutly and rightly and blamelessly we 11behaved toward you 12believers; 11just as you know how we were 13exhorting and encouraging and 14imploring each one of you as 15a father would his own children, 12so that you would 16walk in a manner worthy of the God who 17calls you into His own kingdom and 18glory.
