1: You yourselvesG0846 forG1063 know,G1492 brothers,G0080 theG3588 comingG1529 of usG1473 -G3588 toG4314 youG4771 thatG3754 notG3756 in vainG2756 has been;G1096

2: butG0235 having previously sufferedG4310 andG2532 having been mistreatedG5195 just asG2531 you know,G1492 inG1722 Philippi,G5375 we had boldnessG3955 inG1722 theG3588 GodG2316 of us,G1473 to speakG2980 toG4314 youG4771 theG3588 gospelG2098 -G3588 of GodG2316 amidG1722 muchG4183 conflict.G0073

3: -G3588 ForG1063 the exhortationG3874 of usG1473 [is] notG3756 ofG1537 error,G4106 norG3761 ofG1537 impurity,G0167 norG3761 inG1722 trickery;G1388

4: butG0235 just asG2531 we have been approvedG1381 byG5259 -G3588 GodG2316 to be entrusted withG4100 theG3588 gospel,G2098 soG3779 we speak,G2980 notG3756 asG5613 menG0444 pleasing,G0700 butG0235 God,G2316 the [One]G3588 examiningG1381 theG3588 heartsG2588 of us.G1473

5: NeverG3777 forG1063 at any timeG4218 withG1722 wordG3056 of flatteryG2850 were we,G1096 just asG2531 you know,G1492 norG3777 withG1722 a pretextG4392 for greed—G4124 God [is]G2316 witness—G3144

6: norG3777 seekingG2212 fromG1537 menG0444 glory,G1391 norG3777 fromG0575 you,G4771 norG3777 fromG0575 others,G0243 [though] having authorityG1410 withG1722 weightG0922 to be,G1510 asG5613 Christ’sG5547 apostles.G0652

7: ButG0235 we wereG1096 gentleG3516 inG1722 [the] midstG3319 of you,G4771 asG5613 ifG1437 a nursing motherG5162 would cherishG2282 -G3588 her ownG1438 children.G5043

8: SoG3779 yearning overG2442 you,G4771 we were pleasedG2106 to have impartedG3330 to youG4771 notG3756 onlyG3440 theG3588 gospelG2098 -G3588 of God,G2316 butG0235 alsoG2532 ourG3588 ownG1438 lives,G5590 becauseG1360 belovedG0027 to usG1473 you have become.G1096

9: You rememberG3421 for,G1063 brothers,G0080 theG3588 laborG2873 of usG1473 andG2532 -G3588 hardship:G3449 NightG3571 andG2532 dayG2250 working,G2038 in orderG4314 -G3588 notG3361 to burdenG1912 anyoneG5100 of you,G4771 we proclaimedG2784 toG1519 youG4771 theG3588 gospelG2098 -G3588 of God.G2316

10: You [are]G4771 witnesses,G3144 andG2532 -G3588 God,G2316 howG5613 holily,G3743 andG2532 righteously,G1346 andG2532 blamelessly,G0274 toward you,G4771 thoseG3588 believing,G4100 we were;G1096

11: just asG2509 you knowG1492 howG5613 oneG1520 eachG1538 of you,G4771 asG5613 a fatherG3962 childrenG5043 his own,G1438

12: exhortingG3870 youG4771 andG2532 comfortingG3888 andG2532 chargingG3143 untoG1519 -G3588 to walkG4043 youG4771 worthilyG0516 -G3588 of God,G2316 whoG3588 callsG2564 youG4771 intoG1519 theG3588 of HimselfG1438 kingdomG0932 andG2532 glory.G1391

13: AndG2532 because ofG1223 thisG3778 also,G2532 weG1473 give thanksG2168 -G3588 to GodG2316 unceasinglyG0089 that,G3754 having receivedG3880 [the] wordG3056 [by your] hearingG0189 fromG3844 usG1473 -G3588 of God,G2316 you acceptedG1209 notG3756 [the] wordG3056 of men,G0444 butG0235 even asG2531 trulyG0230 it is,G1510 [the] wordG3056 of God,G2316 whichG3739 alsoG2532 worksG1754 inG1722 youG4771 whoG3588 believe.G4100

14: YouG4771 forG1063 imitatorsG3402 became,G1096 brothers,G0080 of theG3588 churchesG1577 -G3588 of GodG2316 -G3588 beingG1510 inG1722 -G3588 JudeaG2449 inG1722 ChristG5547 Jesus.G2424 ForG3754 the sameG3588 as them,G0846 sufferedG3958 alsoG2532 youG4771 fromG5259 theG3588 ownG2398 countrymen,G4853 asG2531 also [did]G2532 theyG0846 fromG5259 theG3588 Jews,G2453

15: whoG3588 bothG2532 theG3588 LordG2962 having killed,G0615 Jesus,G2424 andG2532 their ownG3588 prophets,G4396 andG2532 usG1473 having driven out,G1559 andG2532 GodG2316 notG3361 pleasing,G0700 andG2532 allG3956 menG0444 [who are] set against,G1727

16: hinderingG2967 usG1473 to theG3588 GentilesG1484 to speak,G2980 thatG2443 they might be saved,G4982 so asG1519 -G3588 to fill upG0378 theirG0846 -G3588 sinsG0266 always.G3842 Has comeG5348 nowG1161 uponG1909 themG0846 theG3588 wrathG3709 to theG1519 utmost.G5056

17: WeG1473 however,G1161 brothers,G0080 having been bereavedG0642 ofG0575 youG4771 forG4314 [the] timeG2540 of an hour,G5610 in face,G4383 notG3756 in heart,G2588 more abundantlyG4057 were eagerG4704 theG3588 faceG4383 of youG4771 to seeG3708 withG1722 greatG4183 desire.G1939

18: ThereforeG1360 we wantedG2309 to comeG2064 toG4314 you—G4771 IG1473 indeedG3303 Paul,G3972 bothG2532 onceG0530 andG2532 twice—G1364 andG2532 hinderedG1465 usG1473 -G3588 Satan.G4567

19: Who [is]G5101 forG1063 ourG1473 hope,G1680 orG2228 joy,G5479 orG2228 crownG4735 of boasting?G2746 OrG2228 [are] notG3780 evenG2532 you,G4771 beforeG1715 theG3588 LordG2962 of usG1473 Jesus,G2424 atG1722 -G3588 HisG0846 coming?G3952

20: YouG4771 forG1063 areG1510 theG3588 gloryG1391 of us,G1473 andG2532 -G3588 joy.G5479
