1 Thessalonians 2
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1For yourselves, brethren, know 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 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.
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 deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:
3η γαρ παρακλησισ ημων ουκ εκ πλανησ ουδε εξ ακαθαρσιασ ουτε εν δολω
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.
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 at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness:
5ουτε γαρ ποτε εν λογω κολακειασ εγενηθημεν καθωσ οιδατε ουτε εν προφασει πλεονεξιασ θεοσ μαρτυσ
6Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.
6ουτε ζητουντεσ εξ ανθρωπων δοξαν ουτε αφ υμων ουτε απο αλλων δυναμενοι εν βαρει ειναι ωσ χριστου αποστολοι
7But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children:
7αλλ εγενηθημεν ηπιοι εν μεσω υμων ωσ αν τροφοσ θαλπη τα εαυτησ τεκνα
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.
8ουτωσ ομειρομενοι υμων ευδοκουμεν μεταδουναι υμιν ου μονον το ευαγγελιον του θεου αλλα και τασ εαυτων ψυχασ διοτι αγαπητοι ημιν γεγενησθε
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.
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
10Ye are witnesses, and God also , how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:
10υμεισ μαρτυρεσ και ο θεοσ ωσ οσιωσ και δικαιωσ και αμεμπτωσ υμιν τοισ πιστευουσιν εγενηθημεν
11As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father doth his children,
11καθαπερ οιδατε ωσ ενα εκαστον υμων ωσ πατηρ τεκνα εαυτου παρακαλουντεσ υμασ και παραμυθουμενοι
12That ye 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
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.
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 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:
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 their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:
15των και τον κυριον αποκτειναντων ιησουν και τουσ ιδιουσ προφητασ και ημασ εκδιωξαντων και θεω μη αρεσκοντων και πασιν ανθρωποισ εναντιων
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.
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 from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavoured 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
18Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan 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 rejoicing? Are not even ye 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 ye are our glory and joy.
20υμεισ γαρ εστε η δοξα ημων και η χαρα
