1 Thessalonians 2:3-10

3For our exhortationG3874 is not of errorG4106, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:

4but even as we have been approved of GodG2316 to be intrusted with the gospelG2098, so we speakG2980; not as pleasingG700 menG444, but GodG2316 who proveth our heartsG2588.

5For neither at any timeG4218 were we found using wordsG3056 of flattery, as ye know, nor a cloak of covetousnessG4124, GodG2316 is witnessG3144;

6nor seekingG2212 gloryG1391 of menG444, neither from you nor from othersG243, whenG5613 we might have claimed authority as apostlesG652 of ChristG5547.

7But we wereG1510 gentle in the midstG3319 of you, as whenG5613 a nurse cherisheth her ownG1438 childrenG5043:

8evenG2532 so, being affectionately desirous of you, we were well pleased to impartG3330 unto you, not the gospelG2098 of GodG2316 onlyG3440, but alsoG2532 our ownG1438 soulsG5590, because ye were becomeG1096 very dear to us.

9For ye rememberG3421, brethren, our laborG2873 and travail: working nightG3571 and dayG2250, that we might not burdenG1912 any of you, we preachedG2784 unto you the gospelG2098 of GodG2316.

10Ye are witnessesG3144, and GodG2316 alsoG2532, howG5613 holily and righteouslyG1346 and unblamably we behaved ourselves toward you that believeG4100:
