1 Thes. 2
For
yourselves,
brethren,
know
our
a
entrance
in
unto
you,
that
it
was
not
in
vain:
2 But
even
after
that
we
had
suffered
before,
and
were
shamefully
a
entreated,
as
ye
know,
at
Philippi,
we
were
bold
in
our
God
to
b
speak
unto
you
the
gospel
of
God
with
much
contention.
3 For
our
exhortation
was
not
of
a
deceit,
nor
of
uncleanness,
nor
in
b
guile:
4 But
as
we
were
a
allowed
of
God
to
be
b
put
in
c
trust
with
the
gospel,
even
so
we
d
speak;
not
as
e
pleasing
men,
but
God,
which
f
trieth
our
hearts.
5 For
neither
at
any
time
used
we
a
flattering
words,
as
ye
know,
nor
a
cloak
of
b
covetousness;
God
is
witness:
6 Nor
of
men
sought
we
a
glory,
neither
of
you,
nor
yet
of
others,
when
we
might
have
been
burdensome,
as
the
apostles
of
Christ.
7 But
we
were
gentle
among
you,
even
as
a
nurse
cherisheth
her
children:
8 So
being
affectionately
desirous
of
you,
we
were
willing
to
have
imparted
unto
you,
not
the
gospel
of
God
only,
but
also
our
own
a
souls,
because
ye
were
dear
unto
us.
9 For
ye
remember,
brethren,
our
labour
and
a
travail:
for
b
labouring
night
and
day,
because
we
would
not
be
c
chargeable
unto
any
of
you,
we
preached
unto
you
the
gospel
of
God.
10 Ye
are
a
witnesses,
and
God
also,
how
holily
and
justly
and
unblameably
we
behaved
ourselves
among
you
that
believe:
11 As
ye
know
how
we
exhorted
and
comforted
and
charged
every
one
of
you,
as
a
father
doth
his
a
children,
12 That
ye
would
a
walk
b
worthy
of
God,
who
hath
called
you
unto
his
kingdom
and
glory.
13 For
this
cause
also
a
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.
14 For
ye,
brethren,
became
a
followers
of
the
churches
of
God
which
in
Judaea
are
in
Christ
Jesus:
for
ye
also
have
b
suffered
like
things
of
your
own
countrymen,
even
as
they
have
of
the
Jews:
15 Who
both
a
killed
the
Lord
Jesus,
and
their
own
prophets,
and
have
persecuted
us;
and
they
please
not
God,
and
are
contrary
to
all
men:
16
a
Forbidding
us
to
speak
to
the
Gentiles
that
they
might
be
saved,
to
fill
up
their
sins
b
alway:
for
the
wrath
is
come
upon
them
to
the
uttermost.
17 But
we,
brethren,
being
taken
from
you
for
a
short
time
in
presence,
not
in
heart,
endeavoured
the
more
abundantly
to
see
your
a
face
with
great
desire.
18 Wherefore
we
would
have
come
unto
you,
even
I
Paul,
once
and
again;
but
Satan
hindered
us.
19 For
what
is
our
hope,
or
joy,
or
crown
of
rejoicing?
Are
not
even
ye
in
the
presence
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
at
his
a
coming?
20 For
ye
are
our
glory
and
joy.
