1 Thessalonians 2:2

2 On the contrary, although we had already suffered and been outraged in Philippi, as you know, we had the courage, united with our God, to tell you the Good News even under great pressure.

1 Thessalonians 2:2 In-Context

1 You yourselves know, brothers, that our visit to you was not fruitless.
2 On the contrary, although we had already suffered and been outraged in Philippi, as you know, we had the courage, united with our God, to tell you the Good News even under great pressure.
3 For the appeal we make does not flow from error or from impure motives, neither do we try to trick people.
4 Instead, since God has tested us and found us fit to be entrusted with Good News, this is how we speak: not to win favor with people but with God, who tests our hearts.
5 For, as you know, never did we employ flattering talk, nor did we put on a false front to mask greed - God is witness.
