Bible: 1 Thess. 2:7, 8
2:7 1 although we could have imposed our weight as apostles of Christ; instead we became 2 little children 3 among you. Like a nursing mother caring for her own children, 2:8 with such affection for you 4 we were happy 5 to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own lives, because you had become dear to us.
