In the midst of it all

Found this and liked it. I want to be like this, preaching and continuing on in spite of extreme adversity, speaking without wrong intentions and not for the pleasure of man, but for the pleasure of God. It's good stuff.

1 Thessalonians 2:2-4
But though we had already suffered and been shamefully treated at Philippi, as you know, we had boldness in our God to declare to you the gospel of God in the midst of much conflict. For our appeal does not spring from error or impurity or any attempt to deceive, but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not to please man, but to please God who tests our hearts.
