Paul had just likened his care of the church to a mother who sacrificially cares for her children (1 Thessalonians 2:7-9). Now he uses a father-analogy - starting by saying that Father God knows everything about him. Paul had learned the art of spiritual fatherhood from understanding the character of God. As children learn to model their lives on their fathers, so Paul modelled his life on the Lord.
