Thematic Bible: Without deceitfulness
Thematic Bible
Ministers » Should preach » Without deceitfulness
For we [apostles] are not like so many people, who "peddle" God's message merely for profit [or, "who corrupt God's message"], but in Christ's [service] we proclaim the message from God with sincerity, [realizing we are] in the presence of God.
Verse Concepts
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].
Verse Concepts
Instead, we have renounced [the practice of] secret, disgraceful behavior. We do not practice deception, nor resort to distorting God's message. But, by making known the truth [i.e., the true message], we commend ourselves to everyone's conscience in the presence of God.
Verse Concepts
For our appeal [to you was] not based on error, or impure [motives], or deception.
