1 Thessalonians 2:5 in the World English Bible
For neither were we at any time found using words of flattery, as you know, nor a cloak of covetousness (God is witness),
Context
4 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.
5 For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness:
6 Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.
