Inveigle
To inveigle is to entice, lure, or ensnare by flattery or artful talk or inducements.
Paul used the fact that he never inveigled as part of the basis of his credibility with the church at Thessalonica.
For we never came with flattering speech, as you know, nor with a pretext for greed--God is witness-- nor did we seek glory from men, either from you or from others, even though as apostles of Christ we might have asserted our authority. (I Thessalonians 2:5-6, NASB)
