But we were gentle in the midst of you, as when a nurse cherisheth her own children:

Butª we wereª° gentleª amongªª you,ª even asª¹ a nurseª cherishethª²° herª children:ª

Butª wee wereª° gentleª amongªª you,ª euen asª¹ a nurseª cherishethª²° herª children:ª

but we were humble among you, and, as a nurse who loveth her children,

But we were lowly among you; and like a nurse, who fondleth her children,

δυνάμενοι ἐν βάρει εἶναι ὡς Χριστοῦ ἀπόστολοι: ἀλλὰ ἐγενήθημεν νήπιοι ἐν μέσῳ ὑμῶν, ὡς ἐὰν τροφὸς θάλπῃ τὰ ἑαυτῆς τέκνα:

abling in unto-a-weight to-be as of-Anointed setees-off, other we-were-became non-word-belonged in unto-middle of-ye as if-ever a-nourisher it-might-warm to-the-ones of-self to-producees;
