1 Thessalonians - Chapter: 2


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 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	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.
