I Thessalonians 2:6, 7
"Neither were we seeking praise from men, not from you or from others." (I Thessalonians 2:6)
Paul was not a glory seeker. His motive was not to get a pat on the back and have people talk about how great a guy he was.
"We were able to burden you, being Missionaries of Christ. But we were babies among you all. We were to you, like a mother holding her child close." (I Thessalonians 2:7)
Instead of demanding his rights and privileges as an Apostle, Paul acted as if he had no more rights or privileges than an infant did. Paul had a deep concern for these believers. Rather than thinking of himself, he thought only of them.
