NASB
"nor did we seek glory from men, either from you or from others, even though as apostles of Christ we might have asserted our authority."
— 1 Thessalonians 2:6, NASB
“Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.”
“nor seeking glory of men, neither from you nor from others, when we might have claimed authority as apostles of Christ. ”
“nor seeking glory from men (neither from you nor from others), when we might have claimed authority as apostles of Christ.”
“nor to seek glory from people, either from you or from others,”
“Nor sought we glory of men, neither of you, nor of others.”
“Or looking for glory from men, from you or from others, when we might have made ourselves a care to you as Apostles of Christ.”
“Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.”
For our exhortation does not come from error or impurity or by way of deceit;
but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God who examines our hearts.
For we never came with flattering speech, as you know, nor with a pretext for greed--God is witness--
nor did we seek glory from men, either from you or from others, even though as apostles of Christ we might have asserted our authority.
But we proved to be gentle among you, as a nursing mother tenderly cares for her own children.
Having so fond an affection for you, we were well-pleased to impart to you not only the gospel of God but also our own lives, because you had become very dear to us.
For you recall, brethren, our labor and hardship, how working night and day so as not to be a burden to any of you, we proclaimed to you the gospel of God.
