Gentle Care and Fatherly Exhortation
1 Thessalonians 2:7-12
7
On the contrary, we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother caring for her children.
8
We cared so deeply that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God, but our own lives as well. That is how beloved you have become to us.
9
Surely you recall, brothers, our labor and toil. We worked night and day so that we would not be a burden to anyone while we proclaimed to you the gospel of God.
10
You are witnesses, and so is God, of how holy, righteous, and blameless our conduct was among you who believed.
11
For you know that we treated each of you as a father treats his own children—
12
encouraging you, comforting you, and urging you to walk in a manner worthy of God, who calls you into His own kingdom and glory.
