1 Thessalonians 2:6 in Context — 1 Thessalonians 2
4 mais, selon que Dieu nous a jugés dignes de nous confier l’Évangile, ainsi nous parlons, non comme pour plaire à des hommes, mais pour plaire à Dieu, qui sonde nos cœurs.
5 Jamais, en effet, nous n’avons usé de paroles flatteuses, comme vous le savez; jamais nous n’avons eu la cupidité pour mobile, Dieu en est témoin.
6 Nous n’avons point cherché la gloire qui vient des hommes, ni de vous ni des autres; nous aurions pu nous produire avec autorité comme apôtres de Christ,
7 mais nous avons été pleins de douceur au milieu de vous. De même qu’une nourrice prend un tendre soin de ses enfants,
8 nous aurions voulu, dans notre vive affection pour vous, non seulement vous donner l’Évangile de Dieu, mais encore nos propres vies, tant vous nous étiez devenus chers.
