7But we were gentle in the midst of you, as when a nurse cherisheth her own children:
4 but even as we have been approved of God to be intrusted with the gospel, so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God who proveth our hearts.
5 For neither at any time were we found using words of flattery, as ye know, nor a cloak of covetousness, God is witness;

2:7But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother cherishes her own children.
2:7But we became gentle in your midst, as a nurse may cherish her own children,
2:7But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherishes her children:
