NAS

NIV

4 but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God who examines our hearts.
4 On the contrary, we speak as those approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel. We are not trying to please people but God, who tests our hearts.
5 For we never came with flattering speech, as you know, nor with a pretext for greed -God is witness -
5 You know we never used flattery, nor did we put on a mask to cover up greed—God is our witness.
