1 Thessalonians 2:7 in Context — 1 Thessalonians 2
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.
9 Pois vos lembrais, irmãos, do nosso trabalho e fadiga; porque enquanto vos pregávamos o evangelho de Deus, trabalhávamos noite e dia para que não fôssemos um peso para vós.
