Instead, we were like young children among you. Just as a nursing mother cares for her children

But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother taking care of her own children.

As apostles of Christ we certainly had a right to make some demands of you, but instead we were like children among you. Or we were like a mother feeding and caring for her own children.

Although we could have been a burden as Christ’s apostles,  instead we were gentle  among you, as a nurse  nurtures her own children.

But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children

But we were gentle among you, just as a nursing mother cherishes her own children.

Even though we had some standing as Christ’s apostles, we never threw our weight around or tried to come across as important, with you or anyone else. We weren’t standoffish with you. We took you just as you were. We were never patronizing, never condescending, but we cared for you the way a mother cares for her children. We loved you dearly. Not content to just pass on the Message, we wanted to give you our hearts. And we did.

But we proved to be gentle among you. As a nursing mother tenderly cares for her own children

But we behaved gently when we were among you, like a devoted mother tenderly caring for her own children.

although we could have imposed our weight as apostles of Christ; instead we became little children among you. Like a nursing mother caring for her own children
