Or looking for glory from men, from you or from others, when we might have made ourselves a care to you as Apostles of Christ.

For you have the memory, my brothers, of our trouble and care; how, working night and day, so that we might not be a trouble to any of you, we gave you the good news of God.

So that your lives might be pleasing to God, who has given you a part in his kingdom and his glory.

So that no man might be moved by these troubles; because you see that these things are part of God's purpose for us.

For this reason, when I was no longer able to keep quiet, I sent to get news of your faith, fearing that you might be tested by the Evil One and that our work might come to nothing.
