Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1Therefore when we couldn’t stand it any longer, we thought it good to be left behind at Athens alone,
1διο μηκετι στεγοντεσ ευδοκησαμεν καταλειφθηναι εν αθηναισ μονοι
2and sent Timothy, our brother and God’s servant in the Good News of Christ, to establish you and to comfort you concerning 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
3that no one would be moved by these afflictions. For you know that we are appointed to this task.
3το μηδενα σαινεσθαι εν ταισ θλιψεσιν ταυταισ αυτοι γαρ οιδατε οτι εισ τουτο κειμεθα
4For most certainly, when we were with you, we told you beforehand that we are to suffer affliction, even as it happened, and you know.
4και γαρ οτε προσ υμασ ημεν προελεγομεν υμιν οτι μελλομεν θλιβεσθαι καθωσ και εγενετο και οιδατε
5For this cause I also, when I couldn’t stand it any longer, sent that I might know your faith, for fear that by any means the tempter had tempted you, and our labor would have been 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 Timothy has just now come to us from you, and brought us glad news of your faith and love, and that you have good memories of us always, longing to see us, even as we also 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 cause, brothers, we were comforted over you in all our distress and affliction through your faith.
7δια τουτο παρεκληθημεν αδελφοι εφ υμιν επι παση τη θλιψει και αναγκη ημων δια τησ υμων πιστεωσ
8For now we live, if you stand fast in the Lord.
8οτι νυν ζωμεν εαν υμεισ στηκετε εν κυριω
9For what thanksgiving can we give again to God for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sakes before our God,
9τινα γαρ ευχαριστιαν δυναμεθα τω θεω ανταποδουναι περι υμων επι παση τη χαρα η χαιρομεν δι υμασ εμπροσθεν του θεου ημων
10night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face and may perfect that which is lacking in 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 Christ, direct our way to you.
11αυτοσ δε ο θεοσ και πατηρ ημων και ο κυριοσ ημων ιησουσ χριστοσ κατευθυναι την οδον ημων προσ υμασ
12May the Lord make you to increase and abound in love toward one another and toward all men, even as we also do toward you,
12υμασ δε ο κυριοσ πλεονασαι και περισσευσαι τη αγαπη εισ αλληλουσ και εισ παντασ καθαπερ και ημεισ εισ υμασ
13to the end he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.
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
