¹ My friends, you know that our time with you wasn't wasted. ² As you remember, we had been mistreated and insulted at Philippi. But God gave us the courage to tell you the good news about him, even though many people caused us trouble. ³ We didn't have any hidden motives when we won you over, and we didn't try to fool or trick anyone. ⁴ God was pleased to trust us with his message. We didn't speak to please people, but to please God who knows our motives. ⁵ You also know that we didn't try to flatter anyone. God himself knows that what we did wasn't a cover-up for greed.
