1 Thessalonians 2:2-4

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

² But having suffered many things before, and been shamefully treated (as you know) at Philippi, we had confidence in our God, to speak unto you the gospel of God in much carefulness.

³ For our exhortation was not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in deceit:

⁴ But as we were approved by God that the gospel should be committed to us: even so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God, who proveth our hearts.
