Noyes(i)
5 For neither at any time did we use flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloak of covetousness, God is witness;
6 nor from men sought we glory, either from you, or from others; though we might have used authority as apostles of Christ.
7 But we were gentle in the midst of you, even as a nurse cherisheth her own children;
8 so having a strong affection for you, we were willing to impart to you, not only the gospel of God, but also our own souls, because ye became dear to us.
9 For ye remember, brethren, our labor and toil, how laboring night and day, that we might not be burdensome to any of you, we preached to you the gospel of God.
