3 G1063 For G2257 our G3874 exhortation G3756 is not G1537 of G4106 error, G3761 nor G1537 of G167 uncleanness, G3777 nor G1722 in G1388 deception.

4 G235 But G2531 even as G1381 we have been approved G5259 by G2316 God G4100 to be entrusted with G2098 the Good News, G3779 so G2980 we speak; G3756 not G5613 as G700 pleasing G444 men, G235 but G2316 God, G3588 who G1381 tests G2257 our G2588 hearts.

5 G1063 For G3777 neither G1096 were we G4218 at any time G3056 found using words G2850 of flattery, G2531 as G1492 you know, G3777 nor G4392 a cloak G4124 of covetousness G2316 (God G3144 is witness),

6 G3777 nor G1391 seeking glory G444 from men G3777 (neither G575 from G5216 you G3777 nor G575 from G243 others), G1410 when we might G1511 have G1722 claimed G922 authority G5613 as G652 apostles G5547 of Christ.

7 G235 But G1096 we were G2261 gentle G1722 among G5216 you, G302 like G5613 G5162 a nursing G2282 mother cherishes G1438 her G5043 own children.

8 G3779 Even so, G2442 affectionately longing G5216 for you, G2106 we were well pleased G3330 to impart G5213 to you, G3756 not G2098 the Good News G2316 of God G3440 only, G235 but G2532 also G1438 our own G5590 souls, G1360 because G1096 you had become G27 very dear G2254 to us.

9 G1063 For G3421 you remember, G80 brothers, G2257 our G2873 labor G2532 and G3449 travail; G1063 for G2038 working G3571 night G2532 and G2250 day, G4314 that G1912 we might G3361 not G1912 burden G5100 any G5216 of you, G2784 we preached G1519 to G5209 you G2098 the Good News G2316 of God.

10 G5210 You G3144 are witnesses G2532 with G2316 God, G5613 how G3743 holy, G2532 G1346 righteously, G2532 and G274 blamelessly G1096 we behaved ourselves G5213 toward you G3588 who G4100 believe.

11 G2509 As G1492 you know, G5613 G3870 we exhorted, G2532 G3888 comforted, G2532 and G3140 implored G1538 every G1520 one G5216 of you, G5613 as G3962 a father G1438 does his G5043 own children,

12 G1519 to the end that G5209 you G4043 should walk G516 worthily G2316 of God, G3588 who G2564 calls G5209 you G1519 into G1438 his G932 own Kingdom G2532 and G1391 glory.
