1 Thessalonians - Chapter: 2


2:1	For ye youre selues knowe brethren of oure entraunce in vnto you, how that it was not in vaine:
2:2	but euen after that we had suffred before, and were shamefullye entreated at Philippos (as ye wel know) then were we bolde in our God to speake vnto you the Gospel of God wyth muche stryuynge.
2:3	Oure exhortacyon was not to bringe you to erroure, nor yet to vnclennes, neyther was it wyth gile,
2:4	but as we were allowed of God, that the Gospel shoulde be committed vnto vs, euen so we spake, not as though we entended to please men, but God whyche tryeth oure hertes.
2:5	Neither was our conuersacyon at anye tyme wyth flatterynge wordes, as ye well knowe neyther in cloked couetousnes, god is record:
2:6	neyther sought we prayse of men neyther of you, nor yet of anye other, when we mighte haue bene chargeable, as the Apostles of Christe,
2:7	but we were tender amonge you, euen as a noursse cheryshed his children,
2:8	so was our affeccion toward you, oure good wil was to haue dealte to you, not the Gospel of God onely, but also our owne soules because ye were deare to vs.
2:9	Ye remember brethren our labour and trauayle. For we laboured day and night, because we would not be greuous vnto any of you, and preached vnto you the Gospel of God.
2:10	Ye are wytnesses, and so is God, howe holily and iustlye and vnblameably we behaued our selues among you that beleue
2:11	as ye know howe that we exhorted and comforted, and besoughte euerye one of you, as a father hys chyldren,
2:12	that ye woulde walke worthye of God, whiche hath called you vnto his kingdome & glory.
2:13	For thys cause thanke we God wythout ceasyng, because that when ye receiued of vs the word, wher with God was preached, ye receiued it not as the worde of man: but euen as it was in dede, the worde of God: whiche worketh in you that beleue.
2:14	For ye brethren became folowers of the congregacions of God, which in Iewrye are in Christ Iesu, for ye haue suffred lyke thinges of your kinsmen, as we our selues haue suffred of the Iewes.
2:15	Which as they kylled the Lorde Iesus and theyr owne prophetes, euen so haue they persecuted vs, and God they please not, and are contrarye to all men,
2:16	and forbid vs to preache vnto the Gentyls, that they might be saued to fulfyll theyr synnes alwaye. For the wrathe of God is come on them, euen to the vtmost.
2:17	For as muche brethren as we are kepte from you for a season as concernynge the bodely presence, but not in the herte we enforsed the more to se you personallye wyth greate desyre.
2:18	And therfore we woulde haue come vnto you I Paule ones and agayne: but Sathan withstode vs.
2:19	For what is oure hope or ioye, or crowne of reioysynge: are not ye it in the presence of our Lord Iesus Christ at hys coming?
2:20	yes ye are our glory and ioye.


2:1	For ye youre selues (brethren) knowe of oure entraunce in vnto you, how that it was not in vayne:
2:2	but euen after that we had suffred before, and were shamfully entreated at Phillipos (as ye knowe) then were we bolde in oure God, to speake vnto you the Gospell of God, in moch stryuynge.
2:3	For oure exhortacyon was not to brynge you to erroure, nor yet to vnclennes, nether was it wyth gyle:
2:4	but as we were alowed of God, that the Gospell sholde be commytted vnto vs: euen so we speake, not as they that please men, but God, whych tryeth oure hertes.
2:5	Nether led we oure conuersacyon at eny tyme with flatterynge wordes, as ye knowe: nether by occasyon of coueteousnes. God is recorde:
2:6	nether sought we prayse of men nether of you, nor yet of eny other, when we myght haue bene in auctorite, as the Apostles of Christ,
2:7	but we were tender amonge you, euen as a norsse cheryssheth her chyldren,
2:8	so were we affeccyoned towarde you: our good wyll was to haue dealte vnto you, not the Gospell of God onely: but also oure awne soules, because ye were deare vnto vs.
2:9	Ye remember brethren oure laboure, and trauayle. For we laboured daye & nyght because we wolde not be chargeable vnto eny of you, and preached vnto you the Gospell of God.
2:10	Ye are witnesses, and so is God how holyly & iustly & vnblameably we behaued oure selues amonge you that beleued,
2:11	as ye knowe, how that we bare soch affeccyon vnto euery one of you, as a father doth vnto chyldren, exhortynge, confortyng, and besechyng you,
2:12	that ye wolde walke worthy of God, whych hath called you vnto his kyngdome and glorye.
2:13	For this cause thanke we God also without ceassyng, because that when ye receaued of vs the worde (wherwith ye learned to know God) ye receaued it not as the worde of man: but euen as it was in dede, the worde of God, whych worketh also in you that beleue.
2:14	For ye brethren became folowers of the cogregacyons of God whych in Iewry are in Christ Iesu: for ye haue suffred lyke thynges of youre kynsmen, as we oure selues haue suffered of the Iewes.
2:15	Whych as they kylled the Lorde Iesus, and theyr awne Prophetes, euen so haue they persecuted vs: and God they please not, and are contrary to al men,
2:16	& hynder vs, that we shuld not speake vnto the Gentyls, that they myght be saued, to fulfyll their synnes alwaye. For the wrath of God is come on them, euen 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 desyre.
2:18	And therfore we wold haue come vnto you, I Paul once and agayne: but Satan withstode vs:
2:19	for what is oure hope of ioye or crowne of reioysing? are not ye it in the presence of our Lord Iesus Christ at his commynge?
2:20	yes, ye are oure glory and ioye.


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.
