1 Thessalonians 2:10 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe: Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily - i.e., in reference to God; how justly in reference to men; and unblamably in reference to our spirit and conduct, as ministers of Christ, we behaved ourselves among you. What a consciousness of his own integrity must St. Paul have had to use the expressions that are here! No hypocrite, and none who did the work of the Lord carelessly, could make such an appeal both to God and man.
