1 Thessalonians 2:3-12
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
3 For our appeal does not spring from deceit or impure motives or trickery, 4 but, just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the message of the gospel, even so we speak, not to please mortals but to please God, who tests our hearts.(A) 5 As you know and as God is our witness, we never came with words of flattery or with a pretext for greed,(B) 6 nor did we seek praise from mortals, whether from you or from others,(C) 7 though we might have made demands as apostles of Christ. But we were gentle[a] among you, like a nurse tenderly caring for her own children. 8 So deeply do we care for you that we are determined to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own selves, because you have become very dear to us.
9 You remember our labor and toil, brothers and sisters; we worked night and day so that we might not burden any of you while we proclaimed to you the gospel of God.(D) 10 You are witnesses, and God also, how pure, upright, and blameless our conduct was toward you believers.(E) 11 As you know, we dealt with each one of you like a father with his children, 12 urging and encouraging you and pleading that you lead a life worthy of God, who calls you into his own kingdom and glory.(F)

3 For the appeal we make does not spring from error or impure motives,(A) nor are we trying to trick you.(B) 4 On the contrary, we speak as those approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel.(C) We are not trying to please people(D) but God, who tests our hearts.(E) 5 You know we never used flattery, nor did we put on a mask to cover up greed(F)—God is our witness.(G) 6 We were not looking for praise from people,(H) not from you or anyone else, even though as apostles(I) of Christ we could have asserted our authority.(J) 7 Instead, we were like young children[a] among you.
Just as a nursing mother cares for her children,(K) 8 so we cared for you. Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God(L) but our lives as well.(M) 9 Surely you remember, brothers and sisters, our toil and hardship; we worked(N) night and day in order not to be a burden to anyone(O) while we preached the gospel of God to you. 10 You are witnesses,(P) and so is God,(Q) of how holy,(R) righteous and blameless we were among you who believed. 11 For you know that we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children,(S) 12 encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy(T) of God, who calls(U) you into his kingdom and glory.

12 Indeed, this is our boast, the testimony of our conscience: we have behaved in the world with holiness[a] and godly sincerity, not by earthly wisdom but by the grace of God—and all the more toward you.(A) 13 For we write you nothing other than what you can read and also understand; I hope you will understand until the end— 14 as you have already understood us in part—that on the day of the Lord Jesus we are your boast even as you are our boast.(B)
