1 Thessalonians 2:9

Paul's Approach To Ministry In Thessalonica

⁸ In our strong affection for you, that seemed to us the best way of sharing with you, not only God's Good news, but our very lives as well--so dear had you become to us. ⁹ You will not have forgotten, Brothers, our labor and toil. Night and day we used to work at our trades, so as not be a burden to any of you, while we proclaimed to you God's Good News. ¹⁰ You will bear witness, and God also, that our relations with you who believed in Christ were pure, and upright, and beyond reproach.
