1 Thessalonians 2:4-6

Young's Literal Translation

⁴ but as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the good news, so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God, who is proving our hearts,

⁵ for at no time did we come with speech of flattery, (as ye have known,) nor in a pretext for covetousness, (God [is] witness!)

⁶ nor seeking of men glory, neither from you nor from others, being able to be burdensome, as Christ's apostles.
