For we were never found using flattering words at any time, as you know, nor did we try to cover up any greedy desires. God can testify [to this].

You can testify, [just] as God can, how holy, righteous and blameless our conduct was toward you believers.

for they [even] try to prevent us from speaking to the Gentiles, so that they can be saved. [In doing this] they are always piling up one sin on another. But the wrath [of God] has come upon them at last [or, "completely"].

For how can we thank God [enough] for you, in return for all the joy we have over you, in the presence of our God?

Night and day we pray very earnestly that we will be able to see you in person, so we can provide what is lacking in your faith.

Make sure that no one does anything wrong to someone who wrongs him, but always look for something good you can do for one another and for everyone.
