1 Thessalonians 2:7-8(KJV)7 But we were gentle among you,

even as a nurse cherisheth her

children: 8 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.

1 Thessalonians 2:7-13(KJV)9For ye remember, brethren, our

labour and travail: for labouring

night and day, because we would not

be chargeable unto any of you, we

preached unto you the gospel of God.

10 Ye are witnesses, and God also, how

holily and justly and unblameably we

behaved ourselves among you that

believe:

1 Thessalonians 2:11-13(KJV)11 As ye know how we exhorted and comforted

and charged every one of you, as a father doth his children,

12 That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.

13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh

also in you that believe.
