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.

ગુજરાતીથેસ્સાલોનિકીઓને પહેલો પત્ર ૨:૪
પણ જેમ ઈશ્વરે સુવાર્તા કહેવાને અમને વિશ્વાસુ ગણ્યા તેમ અમે માણસોને ખુશ કરવાને નહિ, પણ અમારાં હૃદયોના પારખનાર ઈશ્વરને પ્રસન્ન કરવાને બોલીએ છીએ.
हिन्दी1 थिस्सलुनीकियों २:४
पर जैसा परमेश्वर ने हमें योग्य ठहराकर सुसमाचार सौंपा, हम वैसा ही वर्णन करते हैं; और इसमें मनुष्यों को नहीं , परन्तु परमेश्वर को, जो हमारे मनों को जाँचता है, प्रसन्न करते हैं। (तीतु. 1:3, इफि. 6:6)

In context

2but having suffered before and been shamefully treated, as you know, at Philippi, we grew bold in our God to tell you the Good News of God in much conflict.

3For our exhortation is not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in deception.

4But 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.

5For neither were we at any time found using words of flattery, as you know, nor a cloak of covetousness (God is witness),

6nor seeking glory from men (neither from you nor from others), when we might have claimed authority as apostles of Christ.
