1. Thessalonicher 2:8

also hatten wir Herzenslust an euch und waren willig, euch mitzuteilen nicht allein das Evangelium Gottes sondern auch unser Leben, darum daß wir euch liebgewonnen haben.

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.
