1 Thessalonians 2:6-8
EasyEnglish Bible
6 We did not want anyone to say that we are great people. We did not want you to do that, or anyone else. 7 We could have used our authority over you, because we are Christ's apostles. But instead, we chose to be kind to you and to help you. We took care of you, like a mother takes care of her little children. 8 We loved you very much, so we wanted to tell you God's good news. We wanted to share our lives with you too.[a]

- 2:8 Some people at Thessalonica may have said bad things about Paul and his friends. They may have told the Christians there that Paul did not really love them. They may have said that Paul only wanted power and money for himself. So Paul is explaining that he never had any wrong purpose like that. He only wanted to do what was best for the believers at Thessalonica.
