1 Thessalonians 2:7 | |
NASB: But we proved to be gentle among you, as a nursing [mother] tenderly cares for her own children. (NASB ©1995) GWT: although as apostles of Christ we had the right to do this. Instead, we were gentle when we were with you, like a mother taking care of her children. (GOD'S WORD®) KJV: But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children: ASV: But we were gentle in the midst of you, as when a nurse cherisheth her own children: BBE: But we were gentle among you, like a woman caring for her little ones: DBY: but have been gentle in the midst of you, as a nurse would cherish her own children. WEY: On the contrary, in our relations to you we showed ourselves as gentle as a mother is when she tenderly nurses her own children. WBS: But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children: WEB: But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother cherishes her own children. YLT: But we became gentle in your midst, as a nurse may cherish her own children, | |
