1 Thessalonians 2
1 You yourselves for know, brothers, the coming of us to you that not in vain has been;
αυτοι γαρ οιδατε αδελφοι την εισοδον ημων την προς υμας οτι ου κενη γεγονεν
2 but (and *k*) having previously suffered and having been mistreated even as you know, in Philippi, we had boldness in the God of us to speak to you the gospel of God amid much conflict.
αλλα και προπαθοντες και υβρισθεντες καθως οιδατε εν φιλιπποις επαρρησιασαμεθα εν τω θεω ημων λαλησαι προς υμας το ευαγγελιον του θεου εν πολλω αγωνι
3 For the exhortation of us [is] not of error nor of impurity (nor *N(k)O*) in trickery;
η γαρ παρακλησις ημων ουκ εκ πλανης ουδε εξ ακαθαρσιας ουτε εν δολω
4 but even as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not as men pleasing but (*k*) as God who is examining the hearts of us.
αλλα καθως δεδοκιμασμεθα υπο του θεου πιστευθηναι το ευαγγελιον ουτως λαλουμεν ουχ ως ανθρωποις αρεσκοντες αλλα τω θεω τω δοκιμαζοντι τας καρδιας ημων
5 Never for at any time with word of flattery were we, even as you know, nor with a pretext for greed — God [is] witness —
ουτε γαρ ποτε εν λογω κολακειας εγενηθημεν καθως οιδατε ουτε εν προφασει πλεονεξιας θεος μαρτυς
6 nor seeking from men glory nor from you nor from others, [though] having authority with weight to be as Christ’s apostles;
ουτε ζητουντες εξ ανθρωπων δοξαν ουτε αφ υμων ουτε απ αλλων δυναμενοι εν βαρει ειναι ως χριστου αποστολοι
7 But we were (infants *N(K)O*) in [the] midst of you, as (maybe *N(k)O*) a nursing mother shall cherish her own children,
αλλ εγενηθημεν ηπιοι εν μεσω υμων ως αν τροφος θαλπη τα εαυτης τεκνα
8 So (yearning for *N(k)O*) you we were pleased to have imparted to you not only the gospel of God but also our own lives, because beloved to us (you have become. *N(k)O*)
ουτως ιμειρομενοι υμων ευδοκουμεν μεταδουναι υμιν ου μονον το ευαγγελιον του θεου αλλα και τας εαυτων ψυχας διοτι αγαπητοι ημιν γεγενησθε
9 You remember for, brothers, the labor of us and hardship: By night (for *k*) and day working in order not to burden anyone of you we proclaimed to you the gospel of God.
μνημονευετε 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
10 You [are] witnesses and God, how holily and righteously and blamelessly toward you those believing we were,
υμεις μαρτυρες και ο θεος ως οσιως και δικαιως και αμεμπτως υμιν τοις πιστευουσιν εγενηθημεν
11 just as you know how one each of you as a father children of himself exhorting you and comforting and (charging *N(k)O*)
καθαπερ οιδατε ως ενα εκαστον υμων ως πατηρ τεκνα εαυτου παρακαλουντες υμας και παραμυθουμενοι
12 unto (to walk *N(k)O*) you worthily of God who is calling you to the His own kingdom and glory.
και μαρτυρουμενοι εις το περιπατησαι υμας αξιως του θεου του καλουντος υμας εις την εαυτου βασιλειαν και δοξαν
13 (And *no*) because of this also we ourselves give thanks to God unceasingly that having received [the] word [by your] hearing from us of God you accepted not [the] word of men but even as it is truly [the] word of God, which also works in you who believe.
δια 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
14 you yourselves for imitators became, brothers, of the churches of God which are being in Judea in Christ Jesus, For (the [same] *N(K)O*) (these *N(k)O*) suffered also you yourselves from [your] own countrymen, even as also [did] they from the Jews,
υμεις γαρ μιμηται εγενηθητε αδελφοι των εκκλησιων του θεου των ουσων εν τη ιουδαια εν χριστω ιησου οτι ταυτα επαθετε και υμεις υπο των ιδιων συμφυλετων καθως και αυτοι υπο των ιουδαιων
15 who both the Lord having killed Jesus and ([their] own *K*) prophets and (us *NK(O)*) having driven out and God not pleasing and to all men opposed,
των και τον κυριον αποκτειναντων ιησουν και τους ιδιους προφητας και ημας εκδιωξαντων και θεω μη αρεσκοντων και πασιν ανθρωποις εναντιων
16 they are hindering us to the Gentiles to speak that they may be saved, so as to fill up their sins always; Has come now upon them the wrath (of the God *O*) to the utmost.
κωλυοντων ημας τοις εθνεσιν λαλησαι ινα σωθωσιν εις το αναπληρωσαι αυτων τας αμαρτιας παντοτε εφθασεν δε επ αυτους η οργη εις τελος
17 We ourselves however, brothers, having been bereaved of you for [the] time of an hour in face not in heart, more abundantly were eager the face of you to see 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 (therefore *N(k)O*) we wanted to come to you — I myself indeed Paul both once and twice — and hindered us Satan.
διο ηθελησαμεν ελθειν προς υμας εγω μεν παυλος και απαξ και δις και ενεκοψεν ημας ο σατανας
19 Who [is] for our hope or joy or crown of boasting? Except only even you before the Lord of us Jesus (Christ *K*) at His coming?
τις γαρ ημων ελπις η χαρα η στεφανος καυχησεως η ουχι και υμεις εμπροσθεν του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου εν τη αυτου παρουσια
20 You yourselves for are the glory of us and joy.
υμεις γαρ εστε η δοξα ημων και η χαρα
