1 Thessalonians 2:4-6
Worldwide English (New Testament)
4 But God chose us to tell people the good news. And so we do not speak to please men, but to please God. He is the one who knows what is in our hearts.
5 We never said nice things about people that were not true. You know this. We never talked to get something out of it for ourselves. God knows this.
6 And we did not ask you or anybody else to help us or to praise us. Of course, we are apostles of Christ, and we had the right to do so.
