King James Version (KJV)
1 Thessalonians 2:7
“But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children:”
Verse in context — 1 Thessalonians 2
5
For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God [is] witness:
6
Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor [yet] of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.
7
But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children:
8
So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us.
9
For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for labouring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.
