1 Thessalonians 2:7-8
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 2
7
But we proved to be gentle among you. As a nursing
mother
tenderly cares for her own children,
8
in the same way we had a fond affection for you and were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God, but also our own lives, because you had become very dear to us.
King James Version
Chapter 2
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.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 2
7
Although we could have been a burden as Christ's apostles, instead we were gentle among you, as a nurse nurtures her own children.
8
We cared so much for you that we were pleased to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own lives, because you had become dear to us.
New Living Translation
Chapter 2
7
As apostles of Christ we certainly had a right to make some demands of you, but instead we were like children among you. Or we were like a mother feeding and caring for her own children.
8
We loved you so much that we shared with you not only God’s Good News but our own lives, too.
English Standard Version
Chapter 2
7
But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother taking care of her own children.
8
So, being affectionately desirous of you, we were ready to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own selves, because you had become very dear to us.
New International Version
Chapter 2
7
Instead, we were like young children among you. Just as a nursing mother cares for her children,
8
so we cared for you. Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well.
New King James Version
Chapter 2
7
But we were gentle among you, just as a nursing
mother
cherishes her own children.
8
So, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased to impart to you not only the gospel of God, but also our own lives, because you had become dear to us.
