1 Thessalonians / Question
Question source
1 Thessalonians
Paul says he was “gentle among you, like a nursing mother taking care of her own children” (1 Thessalonians 2:7). He explains that they shared not only the gospel but also their own lives because the Thessalonians had become dear to them (1 Thessalonians 2:8).
7But we were gentle in the midst of you, as when a nurse cherishes her own children.
8Even so, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased to impart to you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because you had become very dear to us.
