1 Thessalonians 2:5 in the King James Version
For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness:
Context
4 But even as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the Good News, so we speak—not as pleasing men, but God, who tests our hearts.
5 For neither were we at any time found using words of flattery, as you know, nor a cloak of covetousness (God is witness),
6 nor seeking glory from men (neither from you nor from others), when we might have claimed authority as apostles of Christ.
