Acts 20:20
20how I adid not shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, and bteaching you in public and from house to house,Acts 20:35
35In all things cI have shown you that dby working hard in this way we must ehelp the weak and fremember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed gto give than to receive.’”Acts 26:22-23
22 hTo this day I have had the help that comes from God, and so iI stand here testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what jthe prophets and Moses said would come to pass: 23 kthat the Christ lmust suffer and that, mby being the first nto rise from the dead, ohe would proclaim plight both to our people and to the Gentiles.”2 Corinthians 4:2
2But we have renounced qdisgraceful, underhanded ways. We refuse to practice ▼▼Greek to walk in
cunning or sto tamper with God’s word, but tby the open statement of the truth uwe would commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God. Galatians 1:7-10
7 vnot that there is another one, but wthere are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 8But even if we or xan angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, ylet him be accursed. 9As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, zlet him be accursed.10For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying aato please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a abservant ▼
▼Or slave; Greek bondservant
of Christ. Galatians 4:16
16Have I then become your enemy by adtelling you the truth? ▼▼Or by dealing truthfully with you
1 Thessalonians 2:4
4but just as we have been approved by God afto be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not agto please man, but to please God ahwho tests our hearts.
