1 Thessalonians 2:3-6 For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:… To one who warned him (Whitefield) to beware of the evils of popularity he replied, "I thank you heartily. May God reward you for watching over my soul; and as to what my enemies say against me. I know worse things of myself than they can say concerning me." "I bless God for my stripping seasons," he would say; "nothing sets a person so much out of the devil's reach as humility." (J. R. Andrews.)
