1 Thessalonians 2:5
| ← 1 Thessalonians 2:4 | 1 Thessalonians 2:5 (KJV) | 1 Thessalonians 2:6 → |
|---|---|---|
But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.
|
For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God [is] witness:
|
Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor [yet] of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.
