The Daily Meditation

1 Thessalonians 1:5, 2:3-6

5 For our Gospel was not unto you in word

only, but also in power, and in the holy Ghost, and

in much assurance, as ye know after what manner

we were among you for your sakes.

3 For our exhortation was not by deceit, nor by

uncleanness, nor by guile.

4 But as we were allowed of God, that the Gospel

should be committed unto us, so we speak, not as

they that please men, but God, which approveth

our hearts:

5 Neither yet did we ever use flattering words, as

ye know, nor colored covetousness, God is record.

6 Neither sought we praise of men, neither

of you, nor of others, when we might have been

chargeable, as the Apostles of Christ.
