lont - 1Thessalonians:2:3-12

lont@1Thessalonians:2:3 @ Besides, our exhortation was not from error, nor from impurity, nor with guile.

lont@1Thessalonians:2:4 @ But as we were approved of God, to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God, who tries our hearts.

lont@1Thessalonians:2:5 @ For neither did we, at any time, use flattering words, or a pretext for covetousness; God is witness.

lont@1Thessalonians:2:6 @ Neither sought we honor from men; neither from you, nor from others. We might have acted with authority, as Apostles of Christ;

lont@1Thessalonians:2:7 @ but we were gentle among you, as a nurse cherishes her children-

lont@1Thessalonians:2:8 @ so, having a strong affection for you, we were well pleased to have imparted to you, not only the gospel of God, but our own souls, also; because you were become dear to us.

lont@1Thessalonians:2:9 @ For your remember, brethren, our labor and toil; that laboring night and day; that we might not be chargeable to any of you, we preached to you the gospel of God.

lont@1Thessalonians:2:10 @ You were witnesses, and God, also, in what a holy, and just, and blameless manner, we acted toward you that believe.

lont@1Thessalonians:2:11 @ As, also, you know, how we addressed every one of you as a father his own children, exhorting and comforting you;

lont@1Thessalonians:2:12 @ and testifying that you should walk worthy of God, who has called you to his kingdom of glory.
