VW-Edition Bible (2010)1 Thessalonians - chapter 2, verses 3 - 6
3 For our exhortation did not come from error or uncleanness, nor was it in deceit.
4 But as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, even so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God, who tests our hearts.
5 For neither at any time did we use flattering words, as you know, nor in pretense of covetousness; God is witness.
6 Nor did we seek honor from men, either from you or from others, when we might have been authoritative as apostles of Christ.
