*
But even after that we had suffered before ,
and were shamefully entreated ,
as ye know ,
at Philippi ,
we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention .
*
For our exhortation was not of deceit ,
nor of uncleanness ,
nor in guile :
*
But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel ,
even so we speak ;
not as pleasing men ,
but God ,
which trieth our hearts .
*
For neither at any time used we flattering words ,
as ye know ,
nor a cloke of covetousness ;
God is witness :
*
Nor of men sought we glory ,
neither of you ,
nor yet of others ,
when we might have been burdensome ,
as the apostles of Christ .
