1 Thessalonians 2:5-7

Worldwide English (New Testament)

⁵ We never said nice things about people that were not true. You know this. We never talked to get something out of it for ourselves. God knows this.

⁶ And we did not ask you or anybody else to help us or to praise us. Of course, we are apostles of Christ, and we had the right to do so.

⁷ But we were kind when we were with you. We were like a woman taking care of her own children.
