1 Thessalonians 2:7

7 But we proved to be gentle among you, as a nursing mother tenderly cares for her own children.

1 Thessalonians 2:8

8 Having so fond an affection for you, we were well-pleased to impart to you not only the gospel of God but also our own lives, because you had become very dear to us.

1 Thessalonians 2:11

11 just as you know how we were exhorting and encouraging and imploring each one of you as a father would his own children,

1 Thessalonians 2:12

12 so that you would walk in a manner worthy of the God who calls you into His own kingdom and glory.

1 Thessalonians 4:4

4 that each of you know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor,

1 Thessalonians 5:13

13 and that you esteem them very highly in love because of their work. Live in peace with one another.
