1 Thessalonians 2:8

8 We loved you very much, so we wanted to tell you God's good news. We wanted to share our lives with you too.

2:8Some people at Thessalonica may have said bad things about Paul and his friends. They may have told the Christians there that Paul did not really love them. They may have said that Paul only wanted power and money for himself. So Paul is explaining that he never had any wrong purpose like that. He only wanted to do what was best for the believers at Thessalonica.
