1 Tesalonica 2:2

Alam naman ninyo na kami ay naghirap noon at inalipusta ng kahiya-hiya sa Filipos, gaya ng inyong alam. Malakas ang loob namin sa ating Diyos na ipahayag sa inyo ang ebanghelyo ng Diyos na may labis na pagsisikap.

But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention.
