1 Thessalonians 2:4

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

World English Bible (WEB)

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.

Strong's King James

But{G235} as{G2531} we were allowed{G1381}{(G5769)} of{G5259} God{G2316} to be put in trust{G4100}{(G5683)} with the gospel{G2098}, even so{G3779} we speak{G2980}{(G5719)}; not{G3756} as{G5613} pleasing{G700}{(G5723)} men{G444}, but{G235} God{G2316}, which trieth{G1381}{(G5723)} our{G2257} hearts{G2588}.

The F.O.G *
