KJV ORIGINAL
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.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
God trusted us with his message, so that's exactly how we share it — we're not trying to make people happy or tell them what they want to hear. We're speaking to please God, who sees straight through to what's really in our hearts.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
We're not here to be people-pleasers — we're here to be God-pleasers, and he knows our hearts anyway.
