1 Thessalonians 2:8 in Context — 1 Thessalonians 2
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.
10 Vous êtes témoins, et Dieu l’est aussi, que nous avons eu envers vous qui croyez une conduite sainte, juste et irréprochable.
