1 Thessalonians 2:6

Nor did we seek glory from people , whether from you or from others , though we could have made demands as apostles of Christ .

We were not looking for praise from people, not from you or anyone else, even though as apostles of Christ we could have asserted our authority.

Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burden some, as the apostles of Christ.
