but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we declare it, not to please people but God, who examines our hearts.

但神既然验中了我们，把福音托付我们，我们就照样讲，不是要讨人喜欢，乃是要讨那察验我们心的神喜欢。

但上帝既然认定我们经得起考验，把福音托付我们，我们就照着传讲，不是要讨人喜欢，而是要讨那考验我们的心的上帝喜欢。

但神既然认定我们经得起考验，把福音托付我们，我们就照着传讲，不是要讨人喜欢，而是要讨那考验我们的心的神喜欢。

我们得到了上帝的认可，受委派传福音。我们不是要取悦人，而是要取悦鉴察我们内心的上帝。

相反地，神既然考验过我们，把福音委托给我们，我们就传讲，不象是讨人欢心的，而是讨那察验我们心思的神的喜悦。

相反，我们怎样被神考验而受了福音的委托，我们就照样传讲；不是要讨人的喜悦，而是要讨神的喜悦——神是考验我们内心的。

但神既然驗中了我們，把福音託付我們，我們就照樣講，不是要討人喜歡，乃是要討那察驗我們心的神喜歡。

但上帝既然認定我們經得起考驗，把福音託付我們，我們就照着傳講，不是要討人喜歡，而是要討那考驗我們的心的上帝喜歡。

但神既然認定我們經得起考驗，把福音託付我們，我們就照着傳講，不是要討人喜歡，而是要討那考驗我們的心的神喜歡。

我們得到了上帝的認可，受委派傳福音。我們不是要取悅人，而是要取悅鑒察我們內心的上帝。

相反地，神既然考驗過我們，把福音委託給我們，我們就傳講，不像是討人歡心的，而是討那察驗我們心思的神的喜悅。

乃是我們怎樣蒙上帝試驗為合格、而以福音託付我們，我們就怎樣講；不是要討人喜歡的，乃是要討那察驗我們心的上帝喜歡。

相反，我們怎樣被神考驗而受了福音的委託，我們就照樣傳講；不是要討人的喜悅，而是要討神的喜悅——神是考驗我們內心的。

惟上帝既鑒我、福音是託、遂如是而言、非若悅人、乃悅鑒我心之上帝也、

上帝擇我、福音是托、我言之、非悅人、乃悅上帝、蓋上帝察吾心者也、

天主既允我儕受福音之任、則我儕如是而言、不求悅於人、乃求悅於鑒察我心之天主、

吾儕既承天主不棄、托以福音、故惟知率直講道、不欲取悅於人、但欲取悅於洞察人心之天主而已。

On the contrary, we speak as those approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel. We are not trying to please people but God, who tests our hearts.

In fact, it is just the opposite. God has approved us to preach. He has trusted us with the good news. We aren’t trying to please people. We want to please God. He tests our hearts.

but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not to please man, but to please God who tests our hearts.

For we speak as messengers approved by God to be entrusted with the Good News. Our purpose is to please God, not people. He alone examines the motives of our hearts.

Instead, just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not to please people, but rather God, who examines our hearts.

But as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, even so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God who tests our hearts.

but even as we have been approved of God to be intrusted with the gospel, so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God who proveth our hearts.

Instead, just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not to please men, but rather God, who examines our hearts.

But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.

But even as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the Good News, so we speak: not as pleasing men, but God, who tests our hearts.

Am I now trying to gain the approval of people, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a slave of Christ!

This accords with the glorious gospel of the blessed God that was entrusted to me.I am grateful to the one who has strengthened me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he considered me faithful in putting me into ministry,even though I was formerly a blasphemer and a persecutor, and an arrogant man. But I was treated with mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief,

You plan great things and you do mighty deeds. You see everything people do. You reward each of them for the way they live and for the things they do.

I know, my God, that you examine thoughts and are pleased with integrity. With pure motives I contribute all this; and now I look with joy as your people who have gathered here contribute to you.

To me– less than the least of all the saints– this grace was given, to proclaim to the Gentiles the unfathomable riches of Christ

O Timothy, protect what has been entrusted to you. Avoid the profane chatter and absurdities of so- called“ knowledge.”

I, the LORD, probe into people’s minds. I examine people’s hearts. I deal with each person according to how he has behaved. I give them what they deserve based on what they have done.

My conversation and my preaching were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit and of power,so that your faith would not be based on human wisdom but on the power of God.

Slaves, obey your earthly masters in every respect, not only when they are watching– like those who are strictly people- pleasers– but with a sincere heart, fearing the Lord.

“ Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all humankind, appoint a man over the community,

The crucible is for refining silver and the furnace is for gold, likewise the LORD tests hearts.

then listen from your heavenly dwelling place, forgive their sin, and act favorably toward each one based on your evaluation of his motives.( Indeed you are the only one who can correctly evaluate the motives of all people.)

And no creature is hidden from God, but everything is naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must render an account.

With regard to the question about people who have never married, I have no command from the Lord, but I give my opinion as one shown mercy by the Lord to be trustworthy.

So then from now on we acknowledge no one from an outward human point of view. Even though we have known Christ from such a human point of view, now we do not know him in that way any longer.

May the evil deeds of the wicked come to an end! But make the innocent secure, O righteous God, you who examine inner thoughts and motives!

Jesus said a third time,“ Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was distressed that Jesus asked him a third time,“ Do you love me?” and said,“ Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you.” Jesus replied,“ Feed my sheep.

But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, because he knew all people.He did not need anyone to testify about man, for he knew what was in man.

The Lord replied,“ Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his household servants, to give them their allowance of food at the proper time?
