1 Thessalonians 2:2-6
2but after we had alreadyG4310 sufferedG4310 and been 1mistreatedG5195 in 2PhilippiG5375, as you knowG3609, we hadG3955 the boldnessG3955 in our GodG2316 3to speakG2980 to you the 4gospelG2098 of GodG2316 amidG1722 muchG4183 56oppositionG73.
3For our 7exhortationG3874 does not come from 8errorG4106 orG3761 9impurityG167 orG3761 10by wayG1722 of 11deceitG1388;
412but justG2531 as we have been approvedG1381 by GodG2316 to be 13entrustedG4100 with the gospelG2098, soG3779 we speakG2980, 14not as pleasingG700 menG444, but GodG2316 who 1516examinesG1381 our heartsG2588.
5For we neverG3777G4218 cameG1096 17with flatteringG2850 speechG3056, as you knowG3609, norG3777 with 18a pretextG4392 for greedG4124--19GodG2316 is witnessG3144--
6norG3777 did we 20seekG2212 gloryG1391 from menG444, eitherG3777 from you orG3777 from othersG243, even though as 21apostlesG652 of ChristG5547 22we might have 23assertedG1510G922 our authorityG922.
