1 Thessalonians 2:2-6

1 Thessalonians 2:2-6 CSB

On the contrary, after we had previously suffered  and were treated outrageously in Philippi,  as you know, we were emboldened by our God to speak the gospel of God to you in spite of great opposition. For our exhortation didn’t come from error or impurity  or an intent to deceive.  Instead, just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted  with the gospel,  so we speak, not to please people, but rather God,  who examines our hearts.  For we never used flattering speech, as you know, or had greedy  motives   #— #God is our witness   #— # and we didn’t seek glory  from people, either from you or from others.
