acv - 1Thessalonians:2:3-12

acv@1Thessalonians:2:3 @ For our exhortation is not from error, nor from uncleanness, nor in deception,

acv@1Thessalonians:2:4 @ but as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the good-news, thus we speak, not as pleasing men, but God who proves our hearts.

acv@1Thessalonians:2:5 @ For we came neither in word of flattery (at any time as ye know) nor a pretense of greed (God is witness)

acv@1Thessalonians:2:6 @ nor seeking glory from men, neither from you nor from others. While able to bear down as apostles of Christ,

acv@1Thessalonians:2:7 @ nevertheless we became gentle in the midst of you, as a nurse cherishes her own children.

acv@1Thessalonians:2:8 @ Thus being desirous of you, we were pleased to impart to you, not only the good-news of God, but also our own souls, because ye have become beloved to us.

acv@1Thessalonians:2:9 @ For ye remember, brothers, our labor and the hardship. For, laboring night and day in order not to burden any of you, we preached to you the good-news of God.

acv@1Thessalonians:2:10 @ Ye are witnesses, and God, how piously and justly and blamelessly we became to you who believe,

acv@1Thessalonians:2:11 @ just as ye know, as each one of you as a father of his own children, imploring you, and comforting,

acv@1Thessalonians:2:12 @ and solemnly declaring for you to walk worthily of God, who calls you into his own kingdom and glory.
