God is Witness.

1Th 2:4  But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts. 
1Th 2:5  For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness: 
1Th 2:6  Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ. 
1Th 2:7  But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children

Allowed of God----- to be put IN trust with the gospel.
NOT pleasing men, but GOD.
No flattering words, no covetousness-  GOD IS WITNESS.

Gentle among others- as a NURSE CHERISHETH HER CHILDREN.

We too are allowed of God to be put in trust with the good news of the gospel- the salvation through JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD.

We too must be more concerned with PLEASING GOD not others.

We have no need to use flattering words- no covetousness.

God is our WITNESS- God is for us!

Just as a good nurse cherishes those in her care - we too must be as gentle with all we come in contact with. We must care for them from our heart as how special they are in God's sight. Gentle…. not forceful!

All through JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD!
