ગુજરાતીથેસ્સાલોનિકીઓને પહેલો પત્ર ૨:૫
તમે જાણો છો કે, ન તો અમે કદી ખુશામતનાં વચનો બોલ્યા કે ન તો દંભ કરીને દ્રવ્યલોભ રાખ્યો; ઈશ્વર સાક્ષી છે,
हिन्दी1 थिस्सलुनीकियों २:५
क्योंकि तुम जानते हो, कि हम न तो कभी चापलूसी की बातें किया करते थे, और न लोभ के लिये बहाना करते थे, परमेश्वर गवाह है।

In context

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.

7But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother cherishes her own children.
