1 Thessalonians 2
1 For you yourselves know, brothers, our visit to you was not in vain,
αυτοι γαρ οιδατε αδελφοι την εισοδον ημων την προς υμας οτι ου κενη γεγονεν
2 but having suffered before and been shamefully treated, as you know, at Philippi, we grew bold in our God to tell you the Good News of God in much conflict.
αλλα προπαθοντες και υβρισθεντες καθως οιδατε εν φιλιπποις επαρρησιασαμεθα εν τω θεω ημων λαλησαι προς υμας το ευαγγελιον του θεου εν πολλω αγωνι
3 For our exhortation is not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in deception.
η γαρ παρακλησις ημων ουκ εκ πλανης ουδε εξ ακαθαρσιας ουδε εν δολω
4 But even as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the Good News, so we speak; not as pleasing people, but God, who tests our hearts.
αλλα καθως δεδοκιμασμεθα υπο του θεου πιστευθηναι το ευαγγελιον ουτως λαλουμεν ουχ ως ανθρωποις αρεσκοντες αλλα θεω τω δοκιμαζοντι τας καρδιας ημων
5 For neither were we at any time found using words of flattery, as you know, nor with a pretext for greed (God is witness),
ουτε γαρ ποτε εν λογω κολακειας εγενηθημεν καθως οιδατε ουτε {VAR2: εν } προφασει πλεονεξιας θεος μαρτυς
6 nor seeking glory from people (neither from you nor from others), when we might have claimed authority as apostles of Christ.
ουτε ζητουντες εξ ανθρωπων δοξαν ουτε αφ υμων ουτε απ αλλων
7 But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother cherishes her own children.
δυναμενοι εν βαρει ειναι ως χριστου αποστολοι αλλα εγενηθημεν νηπιοι εν μεσω υμων ως εαν τροφος θαλπη τα εαυτης τεκνα
8 Even so, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased to impart to you, not the Good News of God only, but also our own souls, because you had become very dear to us.
ουτως ομειρομενοι υμων ευδοκουμεν μεταδουναι υμιν ου μονον το ευαγγελιον του θεου αλλα και τας εαυτων ψυχας διοτι αγαπητοι ημιν εγενηθητε
9 For you remember, brothers, our labor and travail; for working night and day, that we might not burden any of you, we preached to you the Good News of God.
μνημονευετε γαρ αδελφοι τον κοπον ημων και τον μοχθον νυκτος και ημερας εργαζομενοι προς το μη επιβαρησαι τινα υμων εκηρυξαμεν εις υμας το ευαγγελιον του θεου
10 You are witnesses with God, how holy, righteously, and blamelessly we behaved ourselves toward you who believe.
υμεις μαρτυρες και ο θεος ως οσιως και δικαιως και αμεμπτως υμιν τοις πιστευουσιν εγενηθημεν
11 As you know, as a father with his own children,
καθαπερ οιδατε ως ενα εκαστον υμων ως πατηρ τεκνα εαυτου
12 we exhorted, comforted, and implored every one of you to lead a life worthy of God, who calls you into his own Kingdom and glory.
παρακαλουντες υμας και παραμυθουμενοι και μαρτυρομενοι εις το περιπατειν υμας αξιως του θεου του καλουντος υμας εις την εαυτου βασιλειαν και δοξαν
13 For this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that, when you received from us the word of the message of God, you accepted it not as a human word, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which also works in you who believe.
και δια τουτο και ημεις ευχαριστουμεν τω θεω αδιαλειπτως οτι παραλαβοντες λογον ακοης παρ ημων του θεου εδεξασθε ου λογον ανθρωπων αλλα καθως {VAR1: αληθως εστιν } {VAR2: εστιν αληθως } λογον θεου ος και ενεργειται εν υμιν τοις πιστευουσιν
14 For you, brothers, became imitators of the churches of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus; for you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, even as they did from the Judeans;
υμεις 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
15 who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove us out, and did not please God, and are hostile to all people;
των και τον κυριον αποκτειναντων ιησουν και τους προφητας και ημας εκδιωξαντων και θεω μη αρεσκοντων και πασιν ανθρωποις εναντιων
16 forbidding us to speak to those who are not Jewish that they may be saved; to fill up their sins always. But wrath has come on them to the uttermost.
κωλυοντων ημας τοις εθνεσιν λαλησαι ινα σωθωσιν εις το αναπληρωσαι αυτων τας αμαρτιας παντοτε εφθασεν δε επ αυτους η οργη εις τελος
17 But we, brothers, being bereaved of you for a short season, in presence, not in heart, tried even harder to see your face with great desire,
ημεις δε αδελφοι απορφανισθεντες αφ υμων προς καιρον ωρας προσωπω ου καρδια περισσοτερως εσπουδασαμεν το προσωπον υμων ιδειν εν πολλη επιθυμια
18 because we wanted to come to you—indeed, I, Paul, once and again—but Satan hindered us.
διοτι ηθελησαμεν ελθειν προς υμας εγω μεν παυλος και απαξ και δις και ενεκοψεν ημας ο σατανας
19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Is it not even you, before our Lord Jesus at his coming?
τις γαρ ημων ελπις η χαρα η στεφανος καυχησεως η ουχι και υμεις εμπροσθεν του κυριου ημων ιησου εν τη αυτου παρουσια
20 For you are our glory and our joy.
υμεις γαρ εστε η δοξα ημων και η χαρα
