1 Thessalonians 2:7-9

Young's Literal Translation

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 ye have become to us,

⁹ for ye 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;
