10 Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:
10 You are witnesses, and so is God, of how holy, righteous and blameless we were among you who believed.
10 You are witnesses, and God also, how holy and righteous and blameless was our conduct toward you believers.
10 You saw with your own eyes how discreet and courteous we were among you, with keen sensitivity to you as fellow believers. And God knows we weren't freeloaders!
10 You are witnesses, and God also, how devoutly and justly and blamelessly we behaved ourselves among you who believe;
10 You yourselves are our witnesses-and so is God-that we were devout and honest and faultless toward all of you believers.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 1 Thessalonians 2:10
Commentary on 1 Thessalonians 2:7-12
(Read 1 Thessalonians 2:7-12)
Mildness and tenderness greatly recommend religion, and are most conformable to God's gracious dealing with sinners, in and by the gospel. This is the way to win people. We should not only be faithful to our calling as Christians, but in our particular callings and relations. Our great gospel privilege is, that God has called us to his kingdom and glory. The great gospel duty is, that we walk worthy of God. We should live as becomes those called with such a high and holy calling. Our great business is to honour, serve, and please God, and to seek to be worthy of him.
