1 Thessalonians 2:7-12

RYLT(i) 7 But we became gentle in your midst, as a nurse may cherish her own children, 8 so being desirous of you, we are well-pleased to impart to you not only the good news of God, but also our own souls, because beloved you have become to us, 9 for you remember, brethren, our labour and travail, for, night and day working not to be a burden upon any of you, we did preach to you the good news of God; 10 you are witnesses -- God also -- how kindly and righteously, and blamelessly to you who believe we became, 11 even as you have known, how each one of you, as a father his own children, we are exhorting you, and comforting, and testifying, 12 for your walking worthily of God, who is calling you to His own reign and glory.
