1 Thessalonians 2:6

6 We didn't seek praise from people, from you or from anyone else,

1 Thessalonians 2:6 In-Context

4 Rather, we are always spreading the Good News. God trusts us to do this because we passed his test. We don't try to please people but God, who tests our motives.
5 As you know, we never used flattery or schemes to make money. God is our witness!
6 We didn't seek praise from people, from you or from anyone else,
7 although as apostles of Christ we had the right to do this. Instead, we were gentle when we were with you, like a mother taking care of her children.
8 We felt so strongly about you that we were determined to share with you not only the Good News of God but also our lives. That's how dear you were to us!
