1 Thessalonians 2:6
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Nor did we seek praise from you or from anyone else, although as apostles of Christ we had authority to demand it.
In context
4 Instead, we speak as those approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, not in order to please men but God, who examines our hearts.
5 As you know, we never used words of flattery or any pretext for greed. God is our witness!
6 Nor did we seek praise from you or from anyone else, although as apostles of Christ we had authority to demand it.
7 On the contrary, we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother caring for her children.
8 We cared so deeply that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God, but our own lives as well. That is how beloved you have become to us.
