Paul’s Conduct

1 For you yourselves know, brethren, that our coming to you was not in vain.
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.  
8 So, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased ato impart to you not only the gospel of God, but also bour own lives, because you had become dear to us.  
9 For you remember, brethren, our alabor and toil; for laboring night and day, bthat we might not be a burden to any of you, we preached to you the gospel of God.
