1 Thessalonians 2:4

RettskaffenhetTjeneste

2 As you are aware, we had already endured suffering and shameful treatment in Philippi. But in the face of strong opposition, we were bold in our God to speak to you the gospel of God.

3 For our appeal does not arise from deceit or ulterior motives or trickery.

Instead, we speak as those approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, not in order to please men but God, who examines our hearts.

5 As you know, we never used words of flattery or any pretext for greed. God is our witness!

6 Nor did we seek praise from you or from anyone else, although as apostles of Christ we had authority to demand it.
