The appeal we make is based on truth. It comes from a pure heart. We are not trying to trick you.

For our appeal does not spring from error or impurity or any attempt to deceive,

So you can see we were not preaching with any deceit or impure motives or trickery.

For our exhortation didn’t come from error or impurity or an intent to deceive.

For our exhortation does not come from error or impurity or by way of deceit;

For our exhortation did not come from error or uncleanness, nor was it in deceit.

For our exhortation is not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:

For our exhortation didn’t come from error or impurity or an intent to deceive.

For our exhortation[ was] not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:

For the appeal we make does not come from error or impurity or with deceit,

For our exhortation is not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in deception.

Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God.

Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, as those sent from God.

For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life.

You know we never used flattery, nor did we put on a mask to cover up greed— God is our witness.We were not looking for praise from people, not from you or anyone else, even though as apostles of Christ we could have asserted our authority.

I have not coveted anyone’s silver or gold or clothing.You yourselves know that these hands of mine have supplied my own needs and the needs of my companions.

Be that as it may, I have not been a burden to you. Yet, crafty fellow that I am, I caught you by trickery!Did I exploit you through any of the men I sent to you?I urged Titus to go to you and I sent our brother with him. Titus did not exploit you, did he? Did we not walk in the same footsteps by the same Spirit?

Make room for us in your hearts. We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have exploited no one.

Then Moses became very angry and said to the Lord,“ Do not accept their offering. I have not taken so much as a donkey from them, nor have I wronged any of them.”

Here I stand. Testify against me in the presence of the Lord and his anointed. Whose ox have I taken? Whose donkey have I taken? Whom have I cheated? Whom have I oppressed? From whose hand have I accepted a bribe to make me shut my eyes? If I have done any of these things, I will make it right.”

For we did not follow cleverly devised stories when we told you about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in power, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake.

As for other matters, brothers and sisters, we instructed you how to live in order to please God, as in fact you are living. Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more.For you know what instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus.

For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ.

For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie

For you know that we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children,
