Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

And so must it be with others; their teaching must be agreeable to the word, and their life with their teaching. This is the true and good minister. Labouring night and day, we preached to you the gospel of God; and you are witnesses, and God also, how holily, and justly, and unblamably, we behaved ourselves among you.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Teaching--Greek, "disciplining us." Grace exercises discipline, and is imparted in connection with disciplining chastisements (1Co 11:32; The education which the Christian receives from "the grace" of God is a discipline often trying to flesh and blood: just as children need disciplining.
