1 Thessalonians 2:6-9

Thomson(i) 6 nor were we seeking human glory either from you or from others. We might have appeared with weight as Christ's apostles; 7 but we were gentle among you. Our affectionate regard for you being such, as that with which a nursing mother would cherish her own children, 8 we were willing to impart to you not only the glad tidings of God, but even our own lives, because you were dear to us. 9 For you, brethren, remember our labour and our toil: for working day and night that we might not be burthensome to any of you, we proclaimed to you the glad tidings of God.
