1 Thessalonians 2:5

Οὔτε γάρ ποτε ἐν λόγῳ κολακείας ἐγενήθημεν, καθὼς οἴδατε, οὔτε ἐν προφάσει πλεονεξίας· Θεὸς μάρτυς·
King James Version (KJV)

For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness:

Modern English

You know we never used flattery, nor did we put on a mask to cover up greed — God is our witness.

Greek

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·
