The logical main point in vv. 1-12 in v. 10: You are witnesses, and God also, how holy and righteous and blameless was our conduct toward you believers. Repeatedly Paul reminds the church that "you know" or "you remember" his ministry among them, which was characterized by suffering (v. 2), pure motives (v. 3), divine approval (v. 4), a lack of flattery or pretext (v. 5), and gentleness rather than compulsion even though as apostles they had authority to make demands on the church (vv. 6-7). Paul and his co-workers desired to share both the Gospel and their lives with the church, and they worked hard so as not to burden the church while they proclaimed the gospel. Essentially, Paul and his co-workers modeled for the church a gospel-transformed lifestyle, as they "walked in a manner worhy of God" and called the church to do the same.
For you yourselves know, brothers, that our coming to you was not in vain.
we had boldness in our God to declare to you the gospel of God in the midst of much conflict.
but to please God who tests our hearts.
we never came with words of flattery,nor with a pretext for greed-- God is witness.
though we could have made demands as apostles of Christ.
like a nursing mother taking care of her own children.
because you had become very dear to us.
we proclaimed to you the gospel of God.
You are witnesses, and God also, how holy and righteous and blameless was our conduct toward you believers.
who calls you into his own kingdom and glory.
