'Ourselves' in the Bible

how that our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance; even as ye know what manner of men we showed ourselves toward you for your sake.

For it is common knowledge among you that we never made use of smooth-sounding false words, and God is witness that at no time were we secretly desiring profit for ourselves,

Or looking for glory from men, from you or from others, when we might have made ourselves a care to you as Apostles of Christ.

On the contrary, in our relations to you we showed ourselves as gentle as a mother is when she tenderly nurses her own children.

Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:

Wherefore, being no longer able to refrain ourselves, we thought good to be left alone in Athens,

For God has not called us to impurity, but to holiness [to be dedicated, and set apart by behavior that pleases Him, whether in public or in private].
