1 Tesalonicenses 2

so fühlten wir uns in Liebe zu euch hingezogen und hegten den Wunsch, euch nicht nur die Heilsbotschaft Gottes, sondern auch unsere eigenen Seelen darzubringen; denn ihr waret uns lieb geworden.

Tan amadores de vosotros, que quisiéramos entregaros no sólo el evangelio de Dios, mas aun nuestras propias almas; porque nos erais carísimos.

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.

Even so, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased to impart to you not the Good News of God only, but also our own souls, because you had become very dear to us.
