What does 1 Thessalonians 2:11 mean?

You remember how we treated each of you, like a caring parent guiding their own kids—encouraging you, comforting you, and urging you to live in a way that matches the life God calls you to. 1 Thessalonians 2:11 - Modern Text Bible

(Paul is reminding the Thessalonians that he and his team acted like loving parents, not just teachers. Their goal was to help the believers grow up into the kind of life God wants for them.)
