22. 1 Thessalonians 2:7-8(KJV)
7 But we were gentle among you,
even as a nurse cherisheth her
children: 8 So 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.

23. 1 Thessalonians 2:7-13(KJV)
9For ye remember, brethren, our
labour and travail: for labouring
night and day, because we would not
be chargeable unto any of you, we
preached unto you the gospel of God.
10 Ye are witnesses, and God also, how
holily and justly and unblameably we
behaved ourselves among you that
believe:

24. 1 Thessalonians 2:11-13(KJV)
11 As ye know how we exhorted and comforted
and charged every one of you, as a father
doth his children,
12 That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath
called you unto his kingdom and glory.
13 For this cause also thank we God without
ceasing, because, when ye received the word
of God which ye heard of us, ye received it
not as the word of men, but as it is in truth,
the word of God, which effectually worketh
also in you that believe.
