Tyndale(i)
3 Oure exhortacion was not to brynge you to erroure nor yet to vnclennes nether was it with gyle:
4 but as we were alowed of God that the gospell shuld be comitted vnto vs: even so we speake not as though we entended to please men but God which trieth oure hertes.
5 Nether was oure conversacion at eny tyme wt flatterynge wordes as ye well knowe nether in cloked coveteousnes God is recorde:
6 nether sought we prayse of men nether of you nor yet of eny other when we myght have bene chargeable as the apostles of Christ
7 but we were tender amonge you even as a norsse cheressheth her children
8 so was oure affeccion towarde you oure good will was to have dealte vnto you not the gospell of God only: but also oure awne soules because ye were deare vnto vs.
9 Ye remember brethre oure laboure and travayle. For we laboured daye and nyght because we wolde not be greveous vnto eny of you and preached vnto you ye gospell of God.
10 Ye are witnesses and so is god how holyly and iustly and vnblameable we behaved oure selves amonge you that beleve:
11 as ye knowe how that we exhorted and comforted and besought every one of you as a father his childre
12 that ye wolde walke worthy of God which hath called you vnto his kyngdome and glory.
