Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1So when we could bear it no longer, we were willing to be left on our own in Athens.
1διο μηκετι στεγοντεσ ευδοκησαμεν καταλειφθηναι εν αθηναισ μονοι
2We sent Timothy, our brother and fellow worker for God in the gospel of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you in your faith,
2και επεμψαμεν τιμοθεον τον αδελφον ημων και διακονον του θεου και συνεργον ημων εν τω ευαγγελιω του χριστου εισ το στηριξαι υμασ και παρακαλεσαι υμασ περι τησ πιστεωσ υμων
3so that none of you would be shaken by these trials. For you know that we are destined for this.
3το μηδενα σαινεσθαι εν ταισ θλιψεσιν ταυταισ αυτοι γαρ οιδατε οτι εισ τουτο κειμεθα
4Indeed, when we were with you, we kept warning you that we would suffer persecution; and as you know, it has come to pass.
4και γαρ οτε προσ υμασ ημεν προελεγομεν υμιν οτι μελλομεν θλιβεσθαι καθωσ και εγενετο και οιδατε
5For this reason, when I could bear it no longer, I sent to find out about your faith, for fear that the tempter had somehow tempted you and caused our labor to be in vain.
5δια τουτο καγω μηκετι στεγων επεμψα εισ το γνωναι την πιστιν υμων μηπωσ επειρασεν υμασ ο πειραζων και εισ κενον γενηται ο κοποσ ημων
6But just now, Timothy has returned from his visit with the good news about your faith, your love, and the fond memories you have preserved, longing to see us just as we long to see you.
6αρτι δε ελθοντοσ τιμοθεου προσ ημασ αφ υμων και ευαγγελισαμενου ημιν την πιστιν και την αγαπην υμων και οτι εχετε μνειαν ημων αγαθην παντοτε επιποθουντεσ ημασ ιδειν καθαπερ και ημεισ υμασ
7For this reason, brothers, in all our distress and persecution, we have been reassured about you, because of your faith.
7δια τουτο παρεκληθημεν αδελφοι εφ υμιν επι παση τη θλιψει και αναγκη ημων δια τησ υμων πιστεωσ
8For now we can go on living, as long as you are standing firm in the Lord.
8οτι νυν ζωμεν εαν υμεισ στηκετε εν κυριω
9How can we adequately thank God for you in return for our great joy over you in His presence?
9τινα γαρ ευχαριστιαν δυναμεθα τω θεω ανταποδουναι περι υμων επι παση τη χαρα η χαιρομεν δι υμασ εμπροσθεν του θεου ημων
10Night and day we pray most earnestly that we may see you face to face and supply what is lacking from your faith.
10νυκτοσ και ημερασ υπερ εκπερισσου δεομενοι εισ το ιδειν υμων το προσωπον και καταρτισαι τα υστερηματα τησ πιστεωσ υμων
11Now may our God and Father Himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you.
11αυτοσ δε ο θεοσ και πατηρ ημων και ο κυριοσ ημων ιησουσ χριστοσ κατευθυναι την οδον ημων προσ υμασ
12And may the Lord cause you to increase and overflow with love for one another and for everyone else, just as our love for you overflows,
12υμασ δε ο κυριοσ πλεονασαι και περισσευσαι τη αγαπη εισ αλληλουσ και εισ παντασ καθαπερ και ημεισ εισ υμασ
13so that He may establish your hearts in blamelessness and holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints. Amen.
13εισ το στηριξαι υμων τασ καρδιασ αμεμπτουσ εν αγιωσυνη εμπροσθεν του θεου και πατροσ ημων εν τη παρουσια του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου μετα παντων των αγιων αυτου
