Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1For yourselves know, brethren, our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain:
1αυτοι γαρ οιδατε αδελφοι την εισοδον ημων την προσ υμασ οτι ου κενη γεγονεν
2But having suffered many things before, and been shamefully treated (as you know) at Philippi, we had confidence in our God, to speak unto you the gospel of God in much carefulness.
2αλλα προπαθοντεσ και υβρισθεντεσ καθωσ οιδατε εν φιλιπποισ επαρρησιασαμεθα εν τω θεω ημων λαλησαι προσ υμασ το ευαγγελιον του θεου εν πολλω αγωνι
3For our exhortation was not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in deceit:
3η γαρ παρακλησισ ημων ουκ εκ πλανησ ουδε εξ ακαθαρσιασ ουτε εν δολω
4But as we were approved by God that the gospel should be committed to us: even so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God, who proveth our hearts.
4αλλα καθωσ δεδοκιμασμεθα υπο του θεου πιστευθηναι το ευαγγελιον ουτωσ λαλουμεν ουχ ωσ ανθρωποισ αρεσκοντεσ αλλα τω θεω τω δοκιμαζοντι τασ καρδιασ ημων
5For neither have we used, at any time, the speech of flattery, as you know; nor taken an occasion of covetousness, God is witness:
5ουτε γαρ ποτε εν λογω κολακειασ εγενηθημεν καθωσ οιδατε ουτε εν προφασει πλεονεξιασ θεοσ μαρτυσ
6Nor sought we glory of men, neither of you, nor of others.
6ουτε ζητουντεσ εξ ανθρωπων δοξαν ουτε αφ υμων ουτε απο αλλων δυναμενοι εν βαρει ειναι ωσ χριστου αποστολοι
7Whereas we might have been burdensome to you, as the apostles of Christ: but we became little ones in the midst of you, as if a nurse should cherish her children:
7αλλ εγενηθημεν ηπιοι εν μεσω υμων ωσ αν τροφοσ θαλπη τα εαυτησ τεκνα
8So desirous of you, we would gladly impart unto you not only the gospel of God, but also our own souls: because you were become most dear unto us.
8ουτωσ ομειρομενοι υμων ευδοκουμεν μεταδουναι υμιν ου μονον το ευαγγελιον του θεου αλλα και τασ εαυτων ψυχασ διοτι αγαπητοι ημιν γεγενησθε
9For you remember, brethren, our labour and toil: working night and day, lest we should be chargeable to any of you, we preached among you the gospel of God.
9μνημονευετε 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
10You are witnesses, and God also, how holily, and justly, and without blame, we have been to you that have believed:
10υμεισ μαρτυρεσ και ο θεοσ ωσ οσιωσ και δικαιωσ και αμεμπτωσ υμιν τοισ πιστευουσιν εγενηθημεν
11As you know in what manner, entreating and comforting you, (as a father doth his children,)
11καθαπερ οιδατε ωσ ενα εκαστον υμων ωσ πατηρ τεκνα εαυτου παρακαλουντεσ υμασ και παραμυθουμενοι
12We testified to every one of you, that you would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.
12και μαρτυρομενοι εισ το περιπατησαι υμασ αξιωσ του θεου του καλουντοσ υμασ εισ την εαυτου βασιλειαν και δοξαν
13Therefore, we also give thanks to God without ceasing: because, that when you had received of us the word of the hearing of God, you received it not as the word of men, but (as it is indeed) the word of God, who worketh in you that have believed.
13δια 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
14For you, brethren, are become followers of the churches of God which are in Judea, in Christ Jesus: for you also have suffered the same things from your own coutrymen, even as they have from the Jews,
14υμεισ γαρ μιμηται εγενηθητε αδελφοι των εκκλησιων του θεου των ουσων εν τη ιουδαια εν χριστω ιησου οτι τα αυτα επαθετε και υμεισ υπο των ιδιων συμφυλετων καθωσ και αυτοι υπο των ιουδαιων
15Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and the prophets, and have persecuted us, and please not God, and are adversaries to all men;
15των και τον κυριον αποκτειναντων ιησουν και τουσ ιδιουσ προφητασ και ημασ εκδιωξαντων και θεω μη αρεσκοντων και πασιν ανθρωποισ εναντιων
16Prohibiting us to speak to the Gentiles, that they may be saved, to fill up their sins always: for the wrath of God is come upon them to the end.
16κωλυοντων ημασ τοισ εθνεσιν λαλησαι ινα σωθωσιν εισ το αναπληρωσαι αυτων τασ αμαρτιασ παντοτε εφθασεν δε επ αυτουσ η οργη εισ τελοσ
17But we, brethren, being taken away from you for a short time, in sight, not in heart, have hastened the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.
17ημεισ δε αδελφοι απορφανισθεντεσ αφ υμων προσ καιρον ωρασ προσωπω ου καρδια περισσοτερωσ εσπουδασαμεν το προσωπον υμων ιδειν εν πολλη επιθυμια
18For we would have come unto you, I Paul indeed, once and again: but Satan hath hindered us.
18διο ηθελησαμεν ελθειν προσ υμασ εγω μεν παυλοσ και απαξ και δισ και ενεκοψεν ημασ ο σατανασ
19For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of glory? Are not you, in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?
19τισ γαρ ημων ελπισ η χαρα η στεφανοσ καυχησεωσ η ουχι και υμεισ εμπροσθεν του κυριου ημων ιησου εν τη αυτου παρουσια
20For you are our glory and joy.
20υμεισ γαρ εστε η δοξα ημων και η χαρα
