1 Thessalonians 2:6 in Context — 1 Thessalonians 2
4 mas, como fomos aprovados por Deus para que o evangelho nos fosse confiado, assim falamos; não para agradar as pessoas, mas sim a Deus, que prova os nossos corações.
5 Pois, como sabeis, nunca usamos palavras de lisonja, nem pretexto de ganância; Deus é testemunha.
6 Não buscamos a glória humana, nem de vós, nem de outros, ainda que tínhamos autoridade, como apóstolos de Cristo, para demandar de vós.
7 Porém fomos suaves entre vós, como uma mãe que dá carinho aos seus filhos.
8 Assim nós, tendo tanta afeição por vós, queríamos de boa vontade compartilhar convosco não somente o evangelho de Deus, mas também as nossas próprias almas, porque éreis queridos por nós.
