1 Thessalonians 2:7-9

21st Century King James Version

⁷ But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children.

⁸ So being affectionately desirous for 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.

⁹ For ye remember, brethren, our labor and travail; for laboring night and day, because we would not be a burden unto any of you, we preached unto you the Gospel of God.
