1 Thessalonians - Chapter: 2


2:1	For yourselves have known, brethren, our entrance in unto you, that it did not become vain,
2:2	but having both suffered before, and having been injuriously treated (as ye have known) in Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the good news of God in much conflict,
2:3	for our exhortation `is' not out of deceit, nor out of uncleanness, nor in guile,
2:4	but as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the good news, so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God, who is proving our hearts,
2:5	for at no time did we come with speech of flattery, (as ye have known,) nor in a pretext for covetousness, (God `is' witness!)
2:6	nor seeking of men glory, neither from you nor from others, being able to be burdensome, as Christ's apostles.
2:7	But we became gentle in your midst, as a nurse may cherish her own children,
2:8	so being desirous of you, we are well-pleased to impart to you not only the good news of God, but also our own souls, because beloved ye have become to us,
2:9	for ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail, for, night and day working not to be a burden upon any of you, we did preach to you the good news of God;
2:10	ye `are' witnesses -- God also -- how kindly and righteously, and blamelessly to you who believe we became,
2:11	even as ye have known, how each one of you, as a father his own children, we are exhorting you, and comforting, and testifying,
2:12	for your walking worthily of God, who is calling you to His own reign and glory.
2:13	Because of this also, we -- we do give thanks to God continually, that, having received the word of hearing from us of God, ye accepted, not the word of man, but as it is truly, the word of God, who also doth work in you who believe;
2:14	for ye became imitators, brethren, of the assemblies of God that are in Judea in Christ Jesus, because such things ye suffered, even ye, from your own countrymen, as also they from the Jews,
2:15	who did both put to death the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and did persecute us, and God they are not pleasing, and to all men `are' contrary,
2:16	forbidding us to speak to the nations that they might be saved, to fill up their sins always, but the anger did come upon them -- to the end!
2:17	And we, brethren, having been taken from you for the space of an hour -- in presence, not in heart -- did hasten the more abundantly to see your face in much desire,
2:18	wherefore we wished to come unto you, (I indeed Paul,) both once and again, and the Adversary did hinder us;
2:19	for what `is' our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? are not even ye before our Lord Jesus Christ in his presence?
2:20	for ye are our glory and joy.


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.


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.
