1 Thessalonians 2:10

     10. Ye are witnesses—as to our outward conduct.

      God—as to our inner motives.

      holily—towards God.

      justly—towards men.

      unblamably—in relation to ourselves.

      behaved ourselvesGreek, "were made to be," namely, by God.

      among you that believe—rather, "before (that is, in the eyes of) you that believe"; whatever we may have seemed in the eyes of the unbelieving. As 1Th 2:9 refers to their outward occupation in the world; so 1Th 2:10, to their character among believers.
