7But we became gentle in your midst, as a nurse may cherish her own children,
7But we became gentle in your midst, as a nurse may cherish her own children,
4 but as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the good news, so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God, who is proving our hearts,
5 for at no time did we come with speech of flattery, (as ye have known,) nor in a pretext for covetousness, (God is witness!)
6 nor seeking of men glory, neither from you nor from others, being able to be burdensome, as Christ's apostles.
7 But we became gentle in your midst, as a nurse may cherish her own children,
8 so being desirous of you, we are well-pleased to impart to you not only the good news of God, but also our own souls, because beloved ye have become to us,
9 for ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail, for, night and day working not to be a burden upon any of you, we did preach to you the good news of God;
2:7But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children:
2:7As apostles of Christ we could have been a burden to you, but we were gentle among you, like a mother caring for her little children.
2:7Whereas we might have been burdensome to you, as the apostles of Christ: but we became little ones in the midst of you, as if a nurse should cherish her children:
2:7But we were gentle in the midst of you, as when a nurse cherisheth her own children:
2:7but have been gentle in the midst of you, as a nurse would cherish her own children.
2:7But we were gentle in the midst of you, as when a nurse cherisheth her own children:
2:7But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children:
2:7But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother cherishes her own children.
2:7But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherishes her children:
