7"But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children:
8So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us."
Paul used a picture of motherhood to communicate how he loved the people of Thessalonica: a mother that is gentle, cherishes and is affectionately desirous of her children.
