3 For our exhortation was not of error nor of uncleanness nor in guile,
4 but because we have been approved of God that he might entrust us with the gospel, even so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God, who tries our hearts.
5 For we were never flatterers in the word, as ye know, nor tainted with covetousness, God is witness,
6 nor did we seek glory of men neither of you nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome unto you as the apostles of Christ.
7 But we were gentle among you, as a mother feeding and caring for her children,
8 loving you so much, that we were willing to give unto you, not only the gospel of God, but even our own souls, because ye are dear unto us.
9 For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail, for labouring night and day, not to be a burden unto any of you, we preached among you the gospel of God.
