6 nor did we seek glory of men neither of you nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome unto you as the apostles of Christ.
7 But we were gentle among you, as a mother feeding and caring for her children,
8 loving you so much, that we were willing to give unto you, not only the gospel of God, but even our own souls, because ye are dear unto us.
9 For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail, for labouring night and day, not to be a burden unto any of you, we preached among you the gospel of God.
10 Ye are witnesses, and God also, of how holy and just and irreprehensible our behaviour was among you that believe,
11 as ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father with his children,
12 that ye would walk worthy of God, who has called you unto his kingdom and glory.
