'Although' in the Bible

But although we suffered earlier and were mistreated in Philippi, as you know, we had the courage in our God to declare to you the gospel of God in spite of much opposition.

nor did we seek glory either from you or from any other mere men, although we might have stood on our dignity as Christ's Apostles.

Although we could have been a burden as Christ’s apostles, instead we were gentle among you, as a nursing mother nurtures her own children.

Brothers, although we have been separated from you for a little while in person but not in heart we eagerly desire to see you again face to face.
