1 Thessalonians 2:6

---

← 1 Thessalonians 2:5	1 Thessalonians 2:6 (KJV)	1 Thessalonians 2:7 →
For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God [is] witness:	Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor [yet] of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.	But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children:
