1 Thessalonians 2 💬 📚 📜 📕 ↷
4 but as we were approved of God that the Gospel should be committed to us, so we speak: not as pleasing men, but God, who proveth our hearts.
5 For neither have we been, at any time in the word of adulation, as you know; nor in occasion of avarice, God is witness:
6 nor seeking glory of men, neither of you, nor of others.
7 Whereas we might have been a burden to you, as the Apostles of Christ; but we became children in the midst of you, as if a nurse should cherish her children:
8 so having a desire to you, we would gladly deliver unto you not only the Gospel of God, but also our own souls because you are become most dear unto us.
10 You are witnesses and God, how holily, and justly & without blame, we have been to you that did believe.
11 As you know in what manner we desiring and comforting you, have adjured every one of you (as a father his children)
12 that you would walk worthy of God, who hath called you into his Kingdom and glory.
