1 Thessalonians 2:5-7
New Century Version
5 You know that we never tried to influence you by saying nice things about you. We were not trying to get your money; we had no selfishness to hide from you. God knows that this is true. 6 We were not looking for human praise, from you or anyone else, 7 even though as apostles of Christ we could have used our authority over you.
But we were very gentle with you,[a] like a mother caring for her little children.
