Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
οὕτως
thus
Here, the phrase in this manner could: (1) refer back to what Paul said in the previous verse about how he and his fellow workers love and care for the Thessalonians as if they were the Thessalonians’ mothers. Alternate translation: “in that very way” or “as a mother does” (2) make the word longing stronger. Alternate translation: “so very much” (3) refer ahead to what Paul and his fellow workers did because of their longing. Alternate translation: “in the following way:”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
εὐδοκοῦμεν

τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τοῦ Θεοῦ
the gospel ¬the ˱of˲_God

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τὰς ἑαυτῶν ψυχάς
