1 Thessalonians 2:6

οὔτε ζητοῦντες ἐξ ἀνθρώπων δόξαν, οὔτε ἀφ' ὑμῶν οὔτε ἀπὸ ἄλλων, δυνάμενοι ἐν βάρει εἶναι, ὡς Χριστοῦ ἀπόστολοι,
oyte zētoyntes ex anthrōpōn doxan, oyte aph' ymōn oyte apo allōn, dynamenoi en barei einai, ōs Christoy apostoloi,
King James Version (KJV)

Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.

Modern English

We were not looking for praise from people, not from you or anyone else, even though as apostles of Christ we could have asserted our authority.
