God's good rule

"For our exhortation is not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in deception. But even as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, who tests our hearts. For neither were we at any time found using words of flattery, as you know, nor a cloak of covetousness (God is witness), nor seeking glory from men (neither from you nor from others), when we might have claimed authority as apostles of Christ." (this quote - WEB) (1 Thesalonians 2:3-6 - NIV link)

3.0 Salvation through God's rule (chapters 4-5)

4.0 Enjoying God's good rule of us  (Mark 8)
