Paul did not seek honour among the Thessalonians, but came to them in humility
General explanation of the passage, pointing out the different views on structure and interpretation
As an apostle, Paul could have sought honour among the Thessalonians, yet he did not
Paul came to the Thessalonians in humility, like a child
As Christians, we are to approach people with humility rather than with a desire for status
The desire for status and honour are universal in human society
This quest for honour is something that Christians should reject
Christ is the supreme example of humility
Whatever our station or position in life, we should be humble toward other people
Conclusion
6 Nor did we seek glory from people, whether from you or from others, though we could have made demands as apostles of Christ.
