1. You know, brothers and sisters, that our time with you was not wasted.
2. As you know, we suffered rough and insulting treatment in Philippi. But our God gave us the courage to tell you his Good News in spite of strong opposition.
3. When we encouraged you, we didn’t use unethical schemes, corrupt practices, or deception.
4. Rather, we are always spreading the Good News. God trusts us to do this because we passed his test. We don’t try to please people but God, who tests our motives.
5. As you know, we never used flattery or schemes to make money. God is our witness!
6. We didn’t seek praise from people, from you or from anyone else,
