Cherish:

cher'-ish (cakhan; thalpo): Cakhan, "to act the friend," "to be useful," is translated "cherish" (1Ki 1:2,4); thalpo, "to warm," "to make warm," "to foster" (Eph 5:29), said of the regard the husband should have for his wife, even as his own flesh which he "nourisheth and cherisheth, even as Christ also the church," and in 1Th 2:7, of Paul amongst his converts, "as when a nurse cherisheth her own children."

Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
1 Strong's Number: g2282 Greek: thalpo

Cherish:

primarily means "to heat, to soften by heat;" then, "to keep warm," as of birds covering their young with their feathers, Deu 22:6, Sept.; metaphorically, "to cherish with tender love, to foster with tender care," in Eph 5:29 of Christ and the Church; in 1Th 2:7 of the care of the saints at Thessalonica by the Apostle and his associates, as of a nurse for her children.
