Bible Note: 1Th 2:3 For our exhortation does not come from error or impurity or by way of deceit; 1Th 2:4 but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God who examines our hearts. 1Th 2:5 For we never came with flattering speech, as you know, nor with a pretext for greed--God is witness-- 1Th 2:6 nor did we seek glory from men, either from you or from others, even though as apostles of Christ we might have asserted our authority. 1Th 2:7 But we proved to be gentle among you, as a nursing *mother* tenderly cares for her own children. 1Th 2:8 Having so fond an affection for you, we were well-pleased to impart to you not only the gospel of God but also our own lives, because you had become very dear to us. 1Th 2:9 For you recall, brethren, our labor and hardship, how working night and day so as not to be a burden to any of you, we proclaimed to you the gospel of God. 1Th 2:10 You are witnesses, and so is God, how devoutly and uprightly and blamelessly we behaved toward you believers; 1Th 2:11 just as you know how we were exhorting and encouraging and imploring each one of you as a *father* would his own children, Paul treated people like family, not customers. Did he get a salary? Would he retire? No stages but he was on the streets daily. |
