9Surely you recall, brothers, our labor and toil. We worked night and day so that we would not be a burden to anyone while we proclaimed to you the gospel of God.
10You are witnesses, and so is God, of how holy, righteous, and blameless our conduct was among you who believed.
11For you know that we treated each of you as a father treats his own children —
12encouraging you, comforting you, and urging you to walk in a manner worthy of God, who calls you into His own kingdom and glory.
— 1 Thessalonians 2:9-12
