1 Thessalonians 2:3-5

New King James Version

^3 (A)For our exhortation did not come from error or uncleanness, nor was it in deceit.

⁴ But as ^(B)we have been approved by God ^(C)to be entrusted with the gospel, even so we speak, ^(D)not as pleasing men, but God ^(E)who tests our hearts. ⁵ For ^(F)neither at any time did we use flattering words, as you know, nor a ^[a]cloak for covetousness—^(G)God is witness.
