1 Thessalonians 2:6-9

Anderson(i) 6 nor did we seek glory from men, neither from you nor from others; though we could have been burdensome as the apostles of Christ. 7 But we were gentle among you. As a nurse nourishes her children, 8 so, having a strong affection for you, we were well pleased to impart to you not only the gospel of God, but our own lives also, because you had become dear to us. 9 For you remember, brethren, our labor and toil; for, laboring night and day, that we might not be burdensome to any one of you, we preached to you the gospel of God.
