1 Thessalonians 2:7

← 1 Thessalonians 2:6 1 Thessalonians 2:7 (KJV) 1 Thessalonians 2:8 →
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:
So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us.
