1 Thessalonians - Chapter: 2


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, britheren, ye witen oure entre to you, for it was not veyn;
2:2	but first we suffriden, and weren punyschid with wrongis, as ye witen in Filippis, and hadden trust in oure Lord, to speke to you the gospel of God in myche bisynesse.
2:3	And oure exortacioun is not of errour, nether of vnclennesse, nether in gile,
2:4	but as we ben preued of God, that the gospel of God schulde be takun to vs, so we speken; not as plesynge to men, but to God that preueth oure hertis.
2:5	For nether we weren ony tyme in word of glosing, as ye witen, nether in occasioun of auerise; God is witnesse; nether sekinge glorie of men,
2:6	nether of you,
2:7	nether of othere, whanne we, as Cristis apostlis, miyten haue be in charge to you. But we weren maad litle in the myddil of you, as if a nursche fostre hir sones;
2:8	so we desiringe you with greet loue, wolden haue bitake to you, not oneli the gospel of God, but also oure lyues, for ye ben maad most dereworthe to vs.
2:9	For, britheren, ye ben myndeful of oure trauel and werynesse; we worchiden nyyt and day, that we schulden not greue ony of you, and prechiden to you the euangelie of God.
2:10	God and ye ben witnessis, hou holili, and iustli, and with outen pleynt, we weren to you that bileueden.
2:11	As ye witen, hou we preyeden you, and coumfortiden ech of you, as the fadir hise sones,
2:12	and we han witnessid, that ye schulden go worthili to God, that clepide you in to his kingdom and glorie.
2:13	Therfor we doon thankingis to God with outen ceessyng. For whanne ye hadden take of vs the word `of the heryng of God, ye token it not as the word of men, but as `it is verili, the word of God, that worchith in you that han bileued.
2:14	For, britheren, ye ben maad foleweris of the chirchis of God, that ben in Jude, in Crist Jhesu, for ye han suffrid the same thingis of youre euene lynagis, as thei of the Jewis.
2:15	Whiche slowen bothe the Lord Jhesu and the profetis, and pursueden vs, and thei plesen not to God, and thei ben aduersaries to alle men;
2:16	forbedinge vs to speke to hethene men, that thei be maad saaf, that thei fille her synnes euere more; for the wraththe of God cam on hem in to the ende.
2:17	And, britheren, we desolat fro you for a tyme, bi mouth and in biholding, but not in herte, han hiyed more plenteuousli to se youre face with greet desir.
2:18	For we wolden come to you, yhe, Y Poul, onys and eftsoone, but Sathanas lettide vs.
2:19	For whi what is oure hope, or ioye, or coroun of glorie? Whether ye ben not bifore oure Lord Jhesu Crist in his comyng?
2:20	For ye ben oure glorie and ioye.


2:1	For ye youre selues (brethren) knowe of oure intrauce vnto you, how that it was not in vayne,
2:2	but as we had suffred afore, & were shamefully intreated at Philippos (as ye knowe) we were bolde in oure God, to speake vnto you ye Gospel of God with moch stryuynge.
2:3	For oure exhortacion was not to brynge you to erroure ner yet to vnclennes, nether was it with gyle:
2:4	but as we are alowed of God, that the Gospell shulde be commytted vnto vs to preache, euen so we speake, not as though we wolde please me, but God, which tryeth oure hertes.
2:5	For we haue not gone aboute with flateringe wordes (as ye knowe) ner wayted for oure owne profit ( God is recorde)
2:6	nether soughte we prayse of men, nether of you ner of eny other, whan we mighte haue bene chargeable vnto you as the Apostles off Christ,
2:7	but we were tender amonge you. Like as a norsse cherisheth hir children,
2:8	euen so had we hartely affeccion towarde you, and wolde with good wyl haue dealte vnto you, not onely the Gospell of God, but oure lyues also, because ye were deare vnto vs.
2:9	Ye remembre brethren oure laboure and trauayle. For daye and nighte wroughte we (because we wolde not be chargeable vnto eny of you) and preached the Gospell of God amonge you.
2:10	Ye are witnesses, and so is God, how holyly and iustly and vnblameable we behaued oure selues amoge you that beleue:
2:11	as ye knowe, how that as a father his children, euen so exhorted we and comforted and besoughte euery one of you,
2:12	that ye wolde walke worthely before God, which hath called you vnto his kyngdome & glory.
2:13	For this cause thanke we God without ceassynge, because that wha ye receaued of vs the worde of the preachinge of God, ye receaued it not as ye worde of men, but (eue as it is of a trueth) the worde of God, which worketh in you that beleue.
2:14	For ye brethren are become the folowers off the congregacions off God which in Iewry are in Christ Iesu, so that ye haue suffred euen like thinges of youre kynsmen, as they haue suffred of the Iewes.
2:15	Which as they put the LORDE Iesus to death, and their awne prophetes, euen so haue they persecuted vs also, and please not God, and are cotrary to all men,
2:16	forbyddinge vs to speake vnto the Heythen that they mighte be saued, to fulfill their synnes allwaye: for the wrath is come vpon them allready vnto ye vttemost.
2:17	But we (brethren) for as moch as we haue bene kepte from you for a season, as concernynge the bodely presence, but not in the hert, we haue haisted the more with greate desyre to se you personally.
2:18	Therfore wolde we haue come vnto you, (I Paul) two tymes, but Sathan withstode vs.
2:19	For who is oure hope, or ioye, or crowne of reioysinge? are not ye it in ye sighte of oure LORDE Iesus Christ at his commynge?
2:20	Yes ye are oure prayse and ioye.
