7But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children:
4 But as we were allowed by God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, who trieth our hearts.
5 For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness:

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:
