Bible Verses About Ministers: Without deceitfulness

For we are not like a lot of folks who go about huckstering God’s message for a fee; on the contrary, we speak out of a sincere heart, as people sent by God, standing in God’s presence, living in union with the Messiah.

Indeed, we refuse to make use of shameful underhanded methods, employing deception or distorting God’s message. On the contrary, by making very clear what the truth is, we commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God.

For the appeal we make does not flow from error or from impure motives, neither do we try to trick people.

For, as you know, never did we employ flattering talk, nor did we put on a false front to mask greed — God is witness.
