1 Thessalonians 2:7-9

The Voice

⁷ Instead, we proved to be gentle among you, like a nursing mother caring for her own children. ⁸ We were so taken by you that we not only eagerly shared with you God’s good news, but we also shared with you our own lives. That’s how much you’ve come to mean to us.

⁹ Don’t you remember, my brothers and sisters, how hard we worked and struggled? We worked day and night so that we wouldn’t be a burden to any of you and so that we could continue to proclaim to you the good news of God.
