How do we know Paul was not a man-pleaser?

Answered in 1 source

Paul's reluctance to please men is evident in his commitment to proclaiming God's truth without compromise.

In 1 Thessalonians 2:4, Paul states, 'For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloak of covetousness; God is witness.' This passage highlights Paul's determination to speak the truth of the Gospel, regardless of how it might be received. He was not swayed by the desire to gain favor with men or to use flattering speech. Instead, his authority came from his trust in God, who evaluates our hearts. This underscores a fundamental aspect of the Gospel ministry—faithfulness to God's word over the approval of people.
