Witnesses

For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance; as you know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.

Behold, here I am: witness against me before the LORD, and before his anointed: whose ox have I taken? or whose donkey have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed? or of whose hand have I received any bribe to blind my eyes with? and I will restore it to you.

And when they were come to him, he said unto them, You know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all times,

But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.

Why? because I love you not? God knows.

How

And Moses was very angry, and said unto the LORD, Respect not their offering: I have not taken one donkey from them, neither have I hurt one of them.

When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me:

I made a covenant with my eyes; why then should I think upon a maiden?

O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;

The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.

Shall evil be recompensed for good? for they have dug a pit for my soul. Remember that I stood before you to speak good for them, and to turn away your wrath from them.

And in this do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offense toward God, and toward men.

For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have conducted ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you.

Giving no offense in anything, that the ministry be not blamed:

Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man.

For you yourselves know how you ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;

Let no man despise your youth; but be an example of the believers, in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

But you have fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, patience,

In all things showing yourself a pattern of good works: in doctrine showing incorruptness, gravity, sincerity,

Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being examples to the flock.
