Excerpt from The Epistles of Paul
But as God has proved my fitness for the charge of the Glad tidings, so I Speak, not seeking to please men, but God, who proves our hearts For never did I. Use ?attering words, as you know; nor hide covetousness under fair preo tences, (god is witness), nor did I seek honor from men, either from you or others; although I might have been bur densome, as Christ 's apostle.11 But I behaved myself among you with gentleness; and as a nurse cherishes her own chil dren,12, so in my fond affection it was my joy to give°yo'u not only the Glad tidings of God, but my own life also, hé cause you were dear to me. For you remembei', brethren, my toilsome labors; how I worked both night and day, that I might not be burdensome to any of you, while I proclaimed to you the message13 which I bore, the Glad tidings of God. Ye are yourselves witnesses, and God also is witness, how holy, and just, and unblamable were my dealings towards you that believe. You know how earnestly, as a father his own children, I exhorted, and entreated, and adjured each one among you to walk worthy of God, by whom you are 'called into His own kingdom and glory.
