even so, being affectionately desirous of you, we were well pleased to impart unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were become very dear to us.

In our strong affection for you, that seemed to us the best way of sharing with you, not only God’s Good news, but our lives as well — so dear had you become to us.

Also, da wir ein sehnliches Verlangen nach euch haben, gefiel es uns wohl, euch nicht allein das Evangelium Gottes, sondern auch unser eigenes Leben mitzuteilen, weil ihr uns lieb geworden waret.

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

Assim nós, tendo tanta afeição por vós, queríamos de boa vontade compartilhar convosco não somente o evangelho de Deus, mas também as nossas próprias almas, porque éreis queridos por nós.

Do mesmo modo, devido ao grande afeto por vós, estávamos contentes por compartilhar convosco não só o Evangelho de Deus, mas também as nossas próprias vidas. Pois vos tornastes muito queridos para nós.
