1 Thessalonians 2:5 DBY

³  For our exhortation [was] not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile;

⁴  but even as we have been approved of God to have the glad tidings entrusted to us, so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, who proves our hearts.

⁵  For we have not at any time been [among you] with flattering discourse, even as ye know, nor with a pretext for covetousness, God [is] witness;

⁶  nor seeking glory from men, neither from you nor from others, when we might have been a charge as Christ's apostles;

⁷  but have been gentle in the midst of you, as a nurse would cherish her own children.
