5For we have not at any time been among you with flattering discourse, even as ye know, nor with a pretext for covetousness, God is witness;
2 but, having suffered before and been insulted, even as ye know, in Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the glad tidings of God with much earnest striving.
3 For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile;
4 but even as we have been approved of God to have the glad tidings entrusted to us, so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, who proves our hearts.
5 For we have not at any time been among you with flattering discourse, even as ye know, nor with a pretext for covetousness, God is witness;
6 nor seeking glory from men, neither from you nor from others, when we might have been a charge as Christ's apostles;
7 but have been gentle in the midst of you, as a nurse would cherish her own children.

2:5You know we never used flattery, nor did we put on a mask to cover up greed- -God is our witness.
2:5For neither have we used, at any time, the speech of flattery, as you know; nor taken an occasion of covetousness, God is witness:

2:5For neither at any time used we flattering words, as you know, nor a cloak of covetousness; God is witness:
