1Th 2:1 For [1063] yourselves [846], brethren [80], know [1492] (5758) our [2257] entrance in [1529] unto [4314] you [5209], that [3754] it was [1096] (5754) not [3756] in vain [2756]:
1Th 2:2 But [235] even [2532] after that we had suffered before [4310] (5631), and [2532] were shamefully entreated [5195] (5685), as [2531] ye know [1492] (5758), at [1722] Philippi [5375], we were bold [3955] (5662) in [1722] our [2257] God [2316] to speak [2980] (5658) unto [4314] you [5209] the gospel [2098] of God [2316] with [1722] much [4183] contention [73].
1Th 2:3 For [1063] our [2257] exhortation [3874] was not [3756] of [1537] deceit [4106], nor [3761] of [1537] uncleanness [167], nor [3777] in [1722] guile [1388]:
1Th 2:4 But [235] as [2531] we were allowed [1381] (5769) of [5259] God [2316] to be put in trust [4100] (5683) with the gospel [2098], even so [3779] we speak [2980] (5719); not [3756] as [5613] pleasing [700] (5723) men [444], but [235] God [2316], which trieth [1381] (5723) our [2257] hearts [2588].
1Th 2:5 For [1063] neither [3777] at any time [4218] used we [1096] (5675) flattering [2850] words [1722] [3056], as [2531] ye know [1492] (5758), nor [3777] a cloke [1722] [4392] of covetousness [4124]; God [2316] is witness [3144]:
1Th 2:6 Nor [3777] of [1537] men [444] sought [2212] (5723) we glory [1391], neither [3777] of [575] you [5216], nor [3777] [yet] of [575] others [243], when we might [1410] (5740) have been [1511] (5750) burdensome [1722] [922], as [5613] the apostles [652] of Christ [5547].
1Th 2:7 But [235] we were [1096] (5675) gentle [2261] among [1722] [3319] you [5216], even as [5613] a nurse [5162] cherisheth [302] [2282] (5725) her [1438] children [5043]:
1Th 2:8 So [3779] being affectionately desirous [2442] (5734) of you [5216], we were willing [2106] (5707) to have imparted [3330] (5629) unto you [5213], not [3756] the gospel [2098] of God [2316] only [3440], but [235] also [2532] our own [1438] souls [5590], because [1360] ye were [1096] (5769) dear [27] unto us [2254].
1Th 2:9 For [1063] ye remember [3421] (5719), brethren [80], our [2257] labour [2873] and [2532] travail [3449]: for [1063] labouring [2038] (5740) night [3571] and [2532] day [2250], because [4314] we would [1912] [0] not [3361] be chargeable [1912] (5658) unto any [5100] of you [5216], we preached [2784] (5656) unto [1519] you [5209] the gospel [2098] of God [2316].
1Th 2:10 Ye [5210] are witnesses [3144], and [2532] God [2316] [also], how [5613] holily [3743] and [2532] justly [1346] and [2532] unblameably [274] we behaved ourselves [1096] (5675) among you [5213] that believe [4100] (5723):
1Th 2:11 As [2509] ye know [1492] (5758) how [5613] we exhorted [3870] (5723) and [2532] comforted [3888] (5740) and charged [3140] (5734) every [1538] one [1520] of you [5209] [5216], as [5613] a father [3962] doth his [1438] children [5043],
1Th 2:12 [2532] That [1519] ye [5209] would walk [4043] (5658) worthy [516] of God [2316], who hath called [2564] (5723) you [5209] unto [1519] his [1438] kingdom [932] and [2532] glory [1391].
1Th 2:13 For this [5124] cause [1223] also [2532] thank [2168] (5719) we [2249] God [2316] without ceasing [89], because [3754], when ye received [3880] (5631) the word [3056] of God [2316] which ye heard [189] of [3844] us [2257], ye received [1209] (5662) [it] not [3756] [as] the word [3056] of men [444], but [235] as [2531] it is [2076] (5748) in truth [230], the word [3056] of God [2316], which [3739] effectually worketh [1754] (5731) also [2532] in [1722] you [5213] that believe [4100] (5723).
1Th 2:14 For [1063] ye [5210], brethren [80], became [1096] (5675) followers [3402] of the churches [1577] of God [2316] which [3588] in [1722] Judaea [2449] are [5607] (5752) in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424]: for [3754] ye [5210] also [2532] have suffered [3958] (5627) like things [5024] of [5259] your own [2398] countrymen [4853], even [2532] as [2531] they [have] [846] of [5259] the Jews [2453]:
1Th 2:15 Who both [2532] killed [615] (5660) the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424], and [2532] their own [2398] prophets [4396], and [2532] have persecuted [1559] (5660) us [2248]; and [2532] they please [700] (5723) not [3361] God [2316], and [2532] are contrary [1727] to all [3956] men [444]:
1Th 2:16 Forbidding [2967] (5723) us [2248] to speak [2980] (5658) to the Gentiles [1484] that [2443] they might be saved [4982] (5686), to [1519] fill up [378] (5658) their [846] sins [266] alway [3842]: for [1161] the wrath [3709] is come [5348] (5656) upon [1909] them [846] to [1519] the uttermost [5056].
1Th 2:17 But [1161] we [2249], brethren [80], being taken [642] (5685) from [575] you [5216] for [4314] a short [5610] time [2540] in presence [4383], not [3756] in heart [2588], endeavoured [4704] (5656) the more abundantly [4056] to see [1492] (5629) your [5216] face [4383] with [1722] great [4183] desire [1939].
1Th 2:18 Wherefore [1352] we would [2309] (5656) have come [2064] (5629) unto [4314] you [5209], even [3303] I [1473] Paul [3972], once [2532] [530] and [2532] again [1364]; but [2532] Satan [4567] hindered [1465] (5656) us [2248].
1Th 2:19 For [1063] what [5101] is our [2257] hope [1680], or [2228] joy [5479], or [2228] crown [4735] of rejoicing [2746]? [2228] Are not [3780] even [2532] ye [5210] in the presence [1715] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] at [1722] his [846] coming [3952]?
1Th 2:20 For [1063] ye [5210] are [2075] (5748) our [2257] glory [1391] and [2532] joy [5479].
