Kehillah in Thessalonika I 2:4-6

Orthodox Jewish Bible

⁴ On the contrary, in this way we speak: as persons examined and approved by G-d to be entrusted with the Besuras HaGeulah of Hashem, as striving to please not men but Hashem who tests, who examines, our levavot.

⁵ Nor did we ever come with divrei chanuppah (words of flattery), as you know, nor with pretext for chamdanut (greed)‖Der Oybershter is mine eidus! (G-d is my witness!)

⁶ Nor seeking kavod from men, neither from you nor from others.
