Bible: 1 Thessalonians 2:8-9

2:8 with such affection for you 1  we were happy 2  to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own lives, because you had become dear to us. 2:9 For you recall, brothers and sisters, 3  our toil and drudgery: By working night and day so as not to impose a burden on any of you, we preached to you the gospel of God.
