1 Thessalonians 2:4-6
41but justG2531 as we have been approvedG1381 by GodG2316 to be 2entrustedG4100 with the gospelG2098, soG3779 we speakG2980, 3not as pleasingG700 menG444, but GodG2316 who 45examinesG1381 our heartsG2588.
5For we neverG3777G4218 cameG1096 6with flatteringG2850 speechG3056, as you knowG3609, norG3777 with 7a pretextG4392 for greedG4124--8GodG2316 is witnessG3144--
6norG3777 did we 9seekG2212 gloryG1391 from menG444, eitherG3777 from you orG3777 from othersG243, even though as 10apostlesG652 of ChristG5547 11we might have 12assertedG1510G922 our authorityG922.
