7 But we ¹proved to be ²^agentle ³among you, ^bas a nursing mother ⁴tenderly cares for her own children. 8 In this way, having fond affection for you, we were pleased to ^aimpart to you not only the ^bgospel of God but also our own ¹lives, because you had become beloved to us.
9 For you remember, brothers, our ^alabor and hardship, how ^bworking night and day so as not to be a ^cburden to any of you, we proclaimed to you the ^dgospel of God. 10 You are witnesses, and so is ^aGod, of ^bhow devoutly and righteously and blamelessly we ¹behaved toward you ²believers; 11 just as you know how we were ^aexhorting and encouraging and ^bbearing witness to each one of you as ^ca father would his own children, 12 so that you would ^awalk in a manner worthy of the God who ^bcalls you into His own kingdom and ^cglory.
