My LORD’s Bible1 Thessalonians 2
1For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain:
αυτοι γαρ οιδατε αδελφοι την εισοδον ημων την προς υμας οτι ου κενη γεγονεν (6128)
See also: 2 Thessalonians 3:1, Habakkuk 2:13, 1 Corinthians 15:2, 1 Corinthians 15:58, Philippians 2:16, 1 Thessalonians 2:13, Job 39:16, Psalms 127:1, Isaiah 49:4, Isaiah 65:23, Acts 20:18, 1 Corinthians 15:10, 2 Corinthians 6:1, Galatians 2:2, Galatians 4:11, 1 Thessalonians 1:3-10, 1 Thessalonians 1:9, 1 Thessalonians 3:5, Psalms 73:13, 1 Thessalonians 1:5
2But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention.
αλλα και προπαθοντες και υβρισθεντες καθως οιδατε εν φιλιπποις επαρρησιασαμεθα εν τω θεω ημων λαλησαι προς υμας το ευαγγελιον του θεου εν πολλω αγωνι (13964)

3For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:
η γαρ παρακλησις ημων ουκ εκ πλανης ουδε εξ ακαθαρσιας ουτε εν δολω (5365)
See also: 2 Corinthians 4:2, 2 Thessalonians 2:11, 2 Corinthians 2:17, 1 Thessalonians 4:7, Acts 20:2, 1 Thessalonians 2:5-6, Romans 12:9, 1 Corinthians 14:3, 2 Corinthians 5:11, 2 Corinthians 7:2, 2 Corinthians 12:16-18, Numbers 16:15, 1 Samuel 12:3, Job 33:3, Romans 12:8, 2 Corinthians 4:5, 1 Peter 2:1, 2 Peter 1:16, 2 Kings 10:19, Acts 20:33-34
4But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.
αλλα καθως δεδοκιμασμεθα υπο του θεου πιστευθηναι το ευαγγελιον ουτως λαλουμεν ουχ ως ανθρωποις αρεσκοντες αλλα τω θεω τω δοκιμαζοντι τας καρδιας ημων (17455)

5For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness:
ουτε γαρ ποτε εν λογω κολακειας εγενηθημεν καθως οιδατε ουτε εν προφασει πλεονεξιας θεος μαρτυς (7884)
See also: Romans 1:9, 2 Corinthians 4:5, 2 Corinthians 12:17, Acts 20:33, 2 Peter 2:3, Galatians 1:20, 1 Thessalonians 2:3, 1 Samuel 12:3, Psalms 12:2, Proverbs 29:5, Romans 9:1, 2 Corinthians 12:14, Philippians 4:17, Genesis 31:50, Nehemiah 5:16, Job 32:22, Proverbs 21:26, 2 Corinthians 7:2, 1 Thessalonians 2:10, Titus 1:7
6Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.
ουτε ζητουντες εξ ανθρωπων δοξαν ουτε αφ υμων ουτε απ αλλων δυναμενοι εν βαρει ειναι ως χριστου αποστολοι (12978)

7But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children:
αλλ εγενηθημεν ηπιοι εν μεσω υμων ως αν τροφος θαλπη τα εαυτης τεκνα (6822)

8So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us.
ουτως ιμειρομενοι υμων ευδοκουμεν μεταδουναι υμιν ου μονον το ευαγγελιον του θεου αλλα και τας εαυτων ψυχας διοτι αγαπητοι ημιν γεγενησθε (14180)

9For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for labouring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.
μνημονευετε γαρ αδελφοι τον κοπον ημων και τον μοχθον νυκτος γαρ και ημερας εργαζομενοι προς το μη επιβαρησαι τινα υμων εκηρυξαμεν εις υμας το ευαγγελιον του θεου (13167)

10Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:
υμεις μαρτυρες και ο θεος ως οσιως και δικαιως και αμεμπτως υμιν τοις πιστευουσιν εγενηθημεν (10027)

11As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father doth his children,
καθαπερ οιδατε ως ενα εκαστον υμων ως πατηρ τεκνα εαυτου παρακαλουντες υμας και παραμυθουμενοι (9845)

12That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.
και μαρτυρουμενοι εις το περιπατησαι υμας αξιως του θεου του καλουντος υμας εις την εαυτου βασιλειαν και δοξαν (10789)

13For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
δια τουτο και ημεις ευχαριστουμεν τω θεω αδιαλειπτως οτι παραλαβοντες λογον ακοης παρ ημων του θεου εδεξασθε ου λογον ανθρωπων αλλα καθως εστιν αληθως λογον θεου ος και ενεργειται εν υμιν τοις πιστευουσιν (20994)

14For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews:
υμεις γαρ μιμηται εγενηθητε αδελφοι των εκκλησιων του θεου των ουσων εν τη ιουδαια εν χριστω ιησου οτι ταυτα επαθετε και υμεις υπο των ιδιων συμφυλετων καθως και αυτοι υπο των ιουδαιων (24669)

15Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:
των και τον κυριον αποκτειναντων ιησουν και τους ιδιους προφητας και {VAR1: υμας } {VAR2: ημας } εκδιωξαντων και θεω μη αρεσκοντων και πασιν ανθρωποις εναντιων (16148)

16Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.
κωλυοντων ημας τοις εθνεσιν λαλησαι ινα σωθωσιν εις το αναπληρωσαι αυτων τας αμαρτιας παντοτε εφθασεν δε επ αυτους η οργη εις τελος (14709)

17But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavoured the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.
ημεις δε αδελφοι απορφανισθεντες αφ υμων προς καιρον ωρας προσωπω ου καρδια περισσοτερως εσπουδασαμεν το προσωπον υμων ιδειν εν πολλη επιθυμια (15945)

18Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us.

19For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?
