1 Thessalonians 2:7 in Context — 1 Thessalonians 2
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.
9 Vous vous rappelez, frères, notre travail et notre peine: nuit et jour à l’œuvre, pour n’être à charge à aucun de vous, nous vous avons prêché l’Évangile de Dieu.
