1. For you yourselves, brethren, know that our entrance unto you was not vain,
2. but having suffered before and having been shamefully treated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to announce unto you the gospel of God with much diligence.
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.
