1 Thessalonians 2:3 in Context — 1 Thessalonians 2

1 Vous savez vous-mêmes, frères, que notre arrivée chez vous n’a pas été sans résultat.

2 Après avoir souffert et reçu des outrages à Philippes, comme vous le savez, nous prîmes de l’assurance en notre Dieu, pour vous annoncer l’Évangile de Dieu, au milieu de bien des combats.

3 Car notre prédication ne repose ni sur l’erreur, ni sur des motifs impurs, ni sur la fraude;

4 mais, selon que Dieu nous a jugés dignes de nous confier l’Évangile, ainsi nous parlons, non comme pour plaire à des hommes, mais pour plaire à Dieu, qui sonde nos cœurs.

5 Jamais, en effet, nous n’avons usé de paroles flatteuses, comme vous le savez; jamais nous n’avons eu la cupidité pour mobile, Dieu en est témoin.
