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.
Our happiness comes from knowing that our conscience is clear. We have lived honestly and genuinely, not by relying on our own understanding, but through God's grace. This way of living has been a testimony to others, especially to you.
