1 Thessalonians - Chapter: 2


2:1	Because, you yourselves know brethren, that our coming to you was not in vain.
2:2	But even after we had suffered beforehand and were disgraced at Philippi, as you know, we were bold in our God to speak to you the gospel of God in much conflict.
2:3	Because, our exhortation did not come from deception, nor of uncleanness, nor in trickery.
2:4	But as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, even so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God, who tests our hearts.
2:5	Because, neither at any time did we use flattering words, as you know, nor a cloak of covetousness, God is witness.
2:6	Nor did we seek glory from men, either from you or from others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.
2:7	But we were gentle among you, even as a nursing mother cherishes her children.
2:8	So affectionately longing for you, we were willing to impart to you, not just the gospel of God, but also our own souls, because you were dear to us.
2:9	Because you remember, brethren, our labor and toil; because, laboring night and day, since we did not want to be a burden to any of you, we preached to you the gospel of God.
2:10	You are witnesses, and God also, how holy and justly and blamelessly we behaved ourselves among you who believe;
2:11	as you know how we exhorted and comforted and commanded every one of you, as a father does to his children,
2:12	that you would walk worthy of God, who has called you into His kingdom and glory.
2:13	For this reason also we thank God without ceasing, because when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you did not receive it as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectually works in you who believe.
2:14	Because you, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judea are in Christ Jesus. Because, you also have suffered similar things from your own countrymen, just as they have from the Jews,
2:15	who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they do not please God, and are contrary to all men,
2:16	forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved, to always fill up their sins; because of which the wrath is coming upon them to the uttermost.
2:17	But we, brethren, being taken away from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavored more eagerly to see your face with great longing.
2:18	Therefore we wanted to come to you, even I, Paul, time and again, but Satan hindered us.
2:19	Because what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Is it not even you in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at His coming?
2:20	Because you are our glory and joy.


2:1	For ye your selues knowe, brethren, that our entrance in vnto you was not in vaine,
2:2	But euen after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated at Philippi, (as ye knowe) we were bolde in our God, to speake vnto you the Gospell of God with much striuing.
2:3	For our exhortation was not by deceite, nor by vncleannes, nor by guile.
2:4	But as we were allowed of God, that the Gospel should be committed vnto vs, so we speake, not as they that please men, but God, which approoueth our hearts.
2:5	Neither yet did we euer vse flattering wordes, as ye knowe, nor coloured couetousnes, God is recorde.
2:6	Neither sought we prayse of men, neither of you, nor of others, when we might haue bene chargeable, as the Apostles of Christ.
2:7	But we were gentle among you, euen as a nource cherisheth her children.
2:8	Thus being affectioned toward you, our good will was to haue dealt vnto you, not the Gospel of God onely, but also our owne soules, because ye were deare vnto vs.
2:9	For ye remember, brethren, our labour and trauaile: for we laboured day and night, because we would not be chargeable vnto any of you, and preached vnto you the Gospel of God.
2:10	Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily, and iustly, and vnblameably we behaued our selues among you that beleeue.
2:11	As ye knowe how that we exhorted you, and comforted, and besought euery one of you (as a father his children)
2:12	That ye would walke worthy of God, who hath called you vnto his kingdome and glorie.
2:13	For this cause also thanke we God without ceasing, that when ye receiued the worde of God, which ye heard of vs, ye receiued it not as the worde of men, but as it is in deede the worde of God, which also worketh in you that beleeue.
2:14	For brethren, ye are become folowers of the Churches of God, which in Iudea are in Christ Iesus, because ye haue also suffred the same things of your owne countrey men, euen as they haue of the Iewes,
2:15	Who both killed the Lord Iesus and their owne Prophets, and haue persecuted vs away, and God they please not, and are contrary to all men,
2:16	And forbid vs to preach vnto the Gentiles, that they might be saued, to fulfill their sinnes alwayes: for the wrath of God is come on them, to the vtmost.
2:17	For asmuch, brethren, as we were kept from you for a season, concerning sight, but not in the heart, we enforced the more to see your face with great desire.
2:18	Therefore we would haue come vnto you (I Paul, at least once or twise) but Satan hindered vs.
2:19	For what is our hope or ioye, or crowne of reioycing? are not euen you it in the presence of our Lord Iesus Christ at his comming?
2:20	Yea, ye are our glory and ioy.


2:1	For ye youre selves knowe brethren of oure entraunce in vnto you howe that it was not in vayne:
2:2	but even after that we had suffered before and were shamfully entreated at Phillippos (as ye well knowe) then were we bolde in oure God to speake vnto you the gospell of God with moche strivynge.
2:3	Oure exhortacion was not to brynge you to erroure nor yet to vnclennes nether was it with gyle:
2:4	but as we were alowed of God that the gospell shuld be comitted vnto vs: even so we speake not as though we entended to please men but God which trieth oure hertes.
2:5	Nether was oure conversacion at eny tyme wt flatterynge wordes as ye well knowe nether in cloked coveteousnes God is recorde:
2:6	nether sought we prayse of men nether of you nor yet of eny other when we myght have bene chargeable as the apostles of Christ
2:7	but we were tender amonge you even as a norsse cheressheth her children
2:8	so was oure affeccion towarde you oure good will was to have dealte vnto you not the gospell of God only: but also oure awne soules because ye were deare vnto vs.
2:9	Ye remember brethre oure laboure and travayle. For we laboured daye and nyght because we wolde not be greveous vnto eny of you and preached vnto you ye gospell of God.
2:10	Ye are witnesses and so is god how holyly and iustly and vnblameable we behaved oure selves amonge you that beleve:
2:11	as ye knowe how that we exhorted and comforted and besought every one of you as a father his childre
2:12	that ye wolde walke worthy of God which hath called you vnto his kyngdome and glory.
2:13	For this cause thanke we god with out ceasynge because that when ye receaved of vs the worde wherwith God was preached ye receaved it not as the worde of man: but even as it was in dede the worde of God which worketh in you that beleve.
2:14	For ye brethre became folowers of the congregacions of god which in Iewry are in Christ Iesu: for ye have suffered lyke thynges of youre kynsmen as we oure selves have suffered of the Iewes.
2:15	Which as they kylled the lorde Iesus and their awne prophetes even so have they persecuted vs and God they please not and are contrary to all men
2:16	and forbid vs to preache vnto the gentyls that they myght be saved to fulfill their synnes all waye. For the wrath of God is come on them even to the vtmost.
2:17	For as moch brethren as we are kept from you for a season as concernynge the bodyly presence but not in the herte we enforsed the more to se you personally with great desire.
2:18	And therfore we wolde have come vnto you I paul once and agayne: but Satan with stode vs.
2:19	For what is oure hope or ioye or croune of reioysynge? are not ye it in the presence of oure lorde Iesus Christ at his comynge?
2:20	yes ye are oure glory and ioye.
