For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness:
You know we never used flattery, nor did we put on a mask to cover up greed — God is our witness.
Οὔτε γάρ ποτε ἐν λόγῳ κολακείας ἐγενήθημεν, καθὼς οἴδατε, οὔτε ἐν προφάσει πλεονεξίας· Θεὸς μάρτυς·
Oyte gar pote en logō kolakeias egenēthēmen, kathōs oidate, oyte en prophasei pleonexias· Theos martys·
