1 Thessalonians 2:4

Compare all

2 But¹ even after we had suffered before and were spitefully treated at ^aPhilippi, as you know, we were ^bbold in our God to speak to you the gospel of God in much conflict.

3 ^aFor our exhortation did not come from error or uncleanness, nor was it in deceit.

4 But as ^awe have been approved by God ^bto be entrusted with the gospel, even so we speak, ^cnot as pleasing men, but God ^dwho tests our hearts.

5 For ^aneither at any time did we use flattering words, as you know, nor a¹ cloak for covetousness—^bGod is witness.

6 ^aNor did we seek glory from men, either from you or from others, when ^bwe might have ^cmade demands ^das apostles of Christ.

7 But ^awe were gentle among you, just as a nursing mother cherishes her own children.
