For neither G3777 at G4218 any G4218 time G4218 used G1096 G1722 we flattering G2850 words, G3056 as you know, G1492 nor G3777 a cloak G4392 of covetousness; G4124 God G2316 is witness: G3144

Nor G3777 of men G444 sought G2212 we glory, G1391 neither G3777 of you, nor G3777 yet of others, G243 when we might G1410 have been burdensome, G1722 G922 as the apostles G652 of Christ. G5547

As you know G1492 how G5613 we exhorted and comforted G3888 and charged G3143 every G1538 one G1520 of you, as a father G3962 does his children, G5043

Furthermore G3063 then G3767 we beseech G2065 you, brothers, G80 and exhort G3870 you by the Lord G2962 Jesus, G2424 that as you have G2192 received G3880 of us how G4459 you ought G1163 to walk G4043 and to please G700 God, G2316 so you would abound G4052 more G3123 and more. G3123

For you know G1492 what G5101 commandments G3852 we gave G1325 you by the Lord G2962 Jesus. G2424

And Moses H4872 was very H3966 wroth, H2734 and said H559 to the LORD, H3068 Respect H6437 not you their offering: H4503 I have not taken H5375 one H259 ass H2543 from them, neither H3808 have I hurt H7489 one H259 of them.

Behold, H2009 here I am: witness H6030 against me before H5048 the LORD, H3068 and before H5048 his anointed: H4899 whose H4310 ox H7794 have I taken? H3947 or whose H4310 ass H2543 have I taken? H3947 or whom H4310 have I defrauded? H6231 whom have I oppressed? H7533 or of whose H4310 hand H3027 have I received H3947 any bribe H3724 to blind H5956 my eyes H5869 therewith? and I will restore H7725 it you.

I have G2192 coveted G1937 no G3762 man's G3762 silver, G694 or G2228 gold, G5553 or G2228 apparel. G2441

Yes, G1161 you yourselves G846 know, G1097 that these G3778 hands G5495 have G2192 ministered G5256 to my necessities, G5532 and to them that were with me.

For we are not as many, G4183 which corrupt G2585 the word G3056 of God: G2316 but as of sincerity, G1505 but as of God, G2316 in the sight G2714 of God G2316 speak G2980 we in Christ. G5547

But have renounced G550 the hidden G2927 things of dishonesty, G152 not walking G4043 in craftiness, G3834 nor G3366 handling G1389 the word G3056 of God G2316 deceitfully; G1389 but by manifestation G5321 of the truth G225 commending G4921 ourselves G1438 to every G3956 man's G444 conscience G4893 in the sight G1799 of God. G2316

For we preach G2784 not ourselves, G1438 but Christ G5547 Jesus G2424 the Lord; G2962 and ourselves G1438 your G5216 servants G1401 for Jesus' G2424 sake.

Receive G5562 us; we have wronged G91 no G3762 man, G3762 we have corrupted G5351 no G3762 man, G3762 we have defrauded G4122 no G3762 man. G3762

For such G5108 are false G5570 apostles, G5570 deceitful G1386 workers, G2040 transforming G3345 themselves into G1519 the apostles G652 of Christ. G5547

But be it so, I did not burden G2599 you: nevertheless, G235 being G5225 crafty, G3835 I caught G2983 you with guile. G1388

I desired G3870 Titus, G5103 and with him I sent G4882 a brother. G80 Did Titus G5103 make G4122 a gain G4122 of you? walked G4043 we not in the same G846 spirit? G4151 walked G4043 we not in the same G846 steps? G2487

For we have not followed G1811 cunningly devised G4679 fables, G3454 when we made G1107 known G1107 to you the power G1411 and coming G3952 of our Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 but were eyewitnesses G2030 of his majesty. G3168
