* But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel , even so we speak ; not as pleasing men , but God , which trieth our hearts . * For neither at any time used we flattering words , as ye know , nor a cloke of covetousness ; God is witness : * Nor of men sought we glory , neither of you , nor yet of others , when we might have been burdensome , as the apostles of Christ . * But we were gentle among you , even as a nurse cherisheth her children : * 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 .
