1 Thessalonians 2:7-12 but we were humble among you, and, as a nurse who loveth her children,

Etheridge⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ but we were humble among you, and, as a nurse who loveth her children, ⁸ so also we loved, and were desirous to impart to you, not only the gospel of Aloha, but also our life, because we loved you. ⁹ Remember, therefore, my brethren, how we laboured and toiled in the work of our hands by night and by day, that we might not be a burden on one of you. ¹⁰ You witness and Aloha, how we preached to you the gospel of Aloha, purely and justly, and were without blame with all the faithful. ¹¹ As you know how every one of you, as a father his children, we exhorted, and spoke with your hearts; ¹² and (now) we testify to you how you should walk worthy of Aloha himself who hath called you to his kingdom and to his glory.
