1 Thessalonians 2:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 [a]Neither sought we praise of men, neither of you, nor of others, when we might have been [b]chargeable, as the Apostles of Christ.
7 But we were [c]gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children.
8 [d]Thus being affectioned toward you, our good will was to have dealt unto you, not the Gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us.
