1 Tesalonika 2:7-13
2:7 1 although we could have imposed our weight as apostles of Christ; instead we became
2 little children
3 among you. Like a nursing mother caring for her own children,
2:8 with such affection for you
4 we were happy
5 to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own lives, because you had become dear to us.
2:9 For you recall, brothers and sisters,
6 our toil and drudgery: By working night and day so as not to impose a burden on any of you, we preached to you the gospel of God.
2:10 You are witnesses, and so is God, as to how holy and righteous and blameless our conduct was toward you who believe.
2:11 As you know, we treated each one of you as a father treats his own children,
2:12 exhorting and encouraging you and insisting that you live in a way worthy of God who calls you to his own kingdom and his glory.
2:13 And so
7 we too constantly thank God that when you received God’s message that you heard from us,
8 you accepted it not as a human message,
9 but as it truly is, God’s message, which is at work among you who believe.
