1 Thessalonians 2:3-5
3For our 1exhortation does not come from 2error or 3impurity or 4by way of 5deceit;
46but just as we have been approved by God to be 7entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, 8not as pleasing men, but God who 910examines our hearts.
5For we never came 11with flattering speech, as you know, nor with 12a pretext for greed--13God is witness--
