1 Thessalonians 2:10

“Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and righteously and unblameably we behaved ourselves toward you that believe”

“Holily and righteously”: Piously and justly. “Unblameably”: Faultlessly. They had demonstrated reverence towards God, fairness in their dealings with others, and all the accusations against them were false. “We were pure, and upright, and beyond reproach” (TCNT). “Toward you”: “Whatever other people might think of the apostles, the Thessalonian church had reason for. good opinion of them, there was nothing to complain about in the way he and his companions had conducted themselves” (Morris p. 83). Notice how Paul had confidence in the Thessalonians. He believed that people could be objective, they could be honest and they could believe the truth in contrast to slander.
