This is what we are proud of, and I can say with all my heart that it is true: In all the things we have done in the world, we have done everything with an honest and pure heart from God. And this is even more true in the things we have done with you. We did this by God’s grace (kindness), not by the kind of wisdom the world has.
When we were with you believers, we lived in a holy and right way, without fault. You know that this is true, and God knows that this is true.
