1 Thessalonians 2:8-10
1599 Geneva Bible
8 [a]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.
9 [b]For ye remember, brethren, (A)our labor and travail: for we labored day and night, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, and preached unto you the Gospel of God.
10 [c]Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily, and justly, and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe.

New International Version
8 so we cared for you. Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God(A) but our lives as well.(B) 9 Surely you remember, brothers and sisters, our toil and hardship; we worked(C) night and day in order not to be a burden to anyone(D) while we preached the gospel of God to you. 10 You are witnesses,(E) and so is God,(F) of how holy,(G) righteous and blameless we were among you who believed.
