1 Thessalonians 2:5-7

Revised Geneva Translation

⁵ Nor did we ever at any time use flattering words (as you know), nor cloaked covetousness. God is our witness.

⁶ Nor did we seek the praise of man - either by you or by others - when we might have imposed on you as the Apostles of Christ.

⁷ But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherishes her children.
