1 Thessalonians 2:3-7
3For our 1exhortationG3874 does not come from 2errorG4106 orG3761 3impurityG167 orG3761 4by wayG1722 of 5deceitG1388;
46but justG2531 asG2531 we have been approvedG1381 by GodG2316 to be 7entrustedG4100 with the gospelG2098, soG3779 we speakG2980, 8not intendingG5613 to pleaseG700 peopleG444, but to please GodG2316, who 910examinesG1381 our heartsG2588.
5For we neverG3777G4218 cameG1096 11with flatteringG2850 speechG3056, as you knowG3609, norG3777 with 12a pretextG4392 13for greedG4124--14GodG2316 is our witnessG3144--
6norG3777 did we 15seekG2212 honorG1391 from peopleG444, eitherG3777 from you orG3777 from othersG243, though 16we could have 17assertedG1510G922 our authorityG922 as 18apostlesG652 of ChristG5547.
7But we 19provedG1096 to be 2021gentleG2261 22amongG1722G3319 you. 23As a nursingG5162 mother 24tenderlyG2282 caresG2282 forG2282 her ownG1438 childrenG5043,
