1 Thessalonians 2:1-3

Evangelical Heritage Version

Paul Defends His Ministry Among the Thessalonians

2 Indeed, brothers, you yourselves know that our visit to you was not a waste of time. ² Even though we had suffered previously and were treated shamefully in Philippi (as you know), we were bold in our God to speak the gospel of God to you in the face of great opposition. ³ For our appeal does not come from error or impure motives, or by way of deceit.
