1 Thessalonians 2:3-6

MSTC(i) 3 Our exhortation was not to bring you to error, nor yet to uncleanness, neither was it with guile: 4 but as we were allowed of God, that the gospel should be committed unto us: even so we speak, not as though we intended to please men, but God, which trieth our hearts. 5 Neither was our conversation at any time with flattering words — as ye well know — neither in cloaked covetousness, God is record: 6 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.
