1 Thessalonians 2:3-5

New Life Version

³ You remember what we said to you was true. We had no wrong desire in teaching you. We did not try to fool you. ⁴ God has allowed us to be trusted with the Good News. Because of this, we preach it to please God, not man. God tests and proves our hearts. ⁵ You know we never used smooth-sounding words. God knows we never tried to get money from you by preaching.
