1 Thessalonians 2:10

For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.

For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.

Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.

But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,

And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons,

For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;

Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth.

Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.

Shall evil be recompensed for good? for they have digged a pit for my soul. Remember that I stood before thee to speak good for them, and to turn away thy wrath from them.

Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man.

For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness:

Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the LORD, Respect not thou their offering: I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one of them.

And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men.

Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.

But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.

The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not.
