1 THESSALONICIENS 2:8

nous aurions voulu, dans notre vive affection pour vous, non seulement vous donner l’Évangile de Dieu, mais encore nos propres vies, tant vous nous étiez devenus chers.

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.
