The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from King James Bible: it was not in vain:
TH1 2:2 But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully
entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak
unto you the gospel of God with much contention.
TH1 2:3 For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor
in guile:
TH1 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.
TH1 2:5 For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know,
nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness:
