1 Thessalonians 2:4 in Context — 1 Thessalonians 2
2 Porém, mesmo que antes, em Filipos, tenhamos sofrido e sido maltratados, como sabeis, tivemos no nosso Deus ousadia para vos falar o evangelho de Deus em meio a muita oposição.
3 Pois a nossa exortação não [foi] com engano, nem com impureza, nem fraude;
4 mas, como fomos aprovados por Deus para que o evangelho nos fosse confiado, assim falamos; não para agradar as pessoas, mas sim a Deus, que prova os nossos corações.
5 Pois, como sabeis, nunca usamos palavras de lisonja, nem pretexto de ganância; Deus é testemunha.
6 Não buscamos a glória humana, nem de vós, nem de outros, ainda que tínhamos autoridade, como apóstolos de Cristo, para demandar de vós.
