For dette er vår ros: vår samvittighets vidnesbyrd om at vi har vandret i verden, og særlig hos eder, i Guds hellighet og renhet, ikke i kjødelig visdom, men i Guds nåde.
For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.
