For the appeal we make does not spring from error or impure motives, nor are we trying to trick you.

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

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.

But we have renounced disgraceful, underhanded ways. We refuse to practice cunning or to tamper with God’s word, but by the open statement of the truth we would commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God.

For we are not, like so many, peddlers of God’s word, but as men of sincerity, as commissioned by God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ.

For God has not called us for impurity, but in holiness.

For we never came with words of flattery, as you know, nor with a pretext for greed— God is witness.Nor did we seek glory from people, whether from you or from others, though we could have made demands as apostles of Christ.

I coveted no one’s silver or gold or apparel.You yourselves know that these hands ministered to my necessities and to those who were with me.

But granting that I myself did not burden you, I was crafty, you say, and got the better of you by deceit.Did I take advantage of you through any of those whom I sent to you?I urged Titus to go, and sent the brother with him. Did Titus take advantage of you? Did we not act in the same spirit? Did we not take the same steps?

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

And Moses was very angry and said to the Lord,“ Do not respect their offering. I have not taken one donkey from them, and I have not harmed one of them.”

Here I am; testify against me before the Lord and before his anointed. Whose ox have I taken? Or whose donkey have I taken? Or whom have I defrauded? Whom have I oppressed? Or from whose hand have I taken a bribe to blind my eyes with it? Testify against me and I will restore it to you.”

For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

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

Finally, then, brothers, we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, just as you are doing, that you do so more and more.For you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus.

For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.

Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false,

For you know how, like a father with his children,
