1 Thessalonians 2:4

Paul's Approach To Ministry In Thessalonica

³ For, our exhortation, is not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile, ⁴ But, even as we have been approved by God, to be entrusted with the glad-message, so, we speak, - not as, unto men, giving pleasure, but unto God - who proveth our hearts. ⁵ For neither at any time were we found, using words of flattery, - even as ye know, nor a pretext for greed - God, is witness!
