Neither was our conversation at any time with flattering words - as ye well know - neither in cloaked covetousness, God is record:

neither sought we praise of men, neither of you, nor yet of any other, when we might have been chargeable, as the apostles of Christ.

Ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail. For we laboured day and night, because we would not be grievous unto any of you, and preached unto you the gospel of God.

See that none recompense evil for evil unto any man: but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.
