1 Thessalonians 2
1 For, yourselves, know, brethren, our entrance which was unto you—that it hath not proved void;
You yourselves for know, brothers, the coming of us to you that not in vain has been;
2 But, though we had previously suffered, and been insulted, even as ye know, in Philippi, we waxed bold in our God to speak unto you the glad-message of God with much conflict.
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.
3 For, our exhortation, is not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile,
For the exhortation of us [is] not of error nor of impurity (nor *N+kO) in trickery;
4 But, even as we have been approved by God, to be entrusted with the glad-message, so, we speak, —not as, unto men, giving pleasure, but unto God—who proveth our hearts.
but even as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not as men pleasing but as God who is examining the hearts of us.
5 For neither at any time were we found, using words of flattery, —even as ye know, nor a pretext for greed—God, is witness!
Never for at any time with word of flattery were we, even as you know, nor with a pretext for greed — God [is] witness —
6 Nor, of men, seeking glory—either from you, or from others, though we could have assumed, dignity, as Apostles of Christ;
nor seeking from men glory nor from you nor from others, [though] having authority with weight to be as Christ’s apostles;
7 But we became gentle in your midst, —as though, a nursing mother, had been cherishing her own children:
But we were (infants *N+KO) in [the] midst of you, as (maybe *N+kO) a nursing mother shall cherish her own children,
8 Thus, yearning after you, we could have been well-pleased to impart unto you—not only the glad-message of God, but, our own lives also, —because, very dear to us, had ye become.
So (yearning for *N+kO) 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+kO)
9 For ye remember, brethren, our toil and hardship: night and day, working, so as not to be a burden unto any of you, we proclaimed unto you the glad-message of God,
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.
10 Ye, are witnesses—God also, how kindly and righteously and blamelessly, unto you who were believing, we were found to behave;
You [are] witnesses and God, how holily and righteously and blamelessly toward you those believing we were,
11 Even as ye know how, unto each one of you, we were as a father unto his own children, consoling you, and soothing, and calling to witness, —
just as you know how one each of you as a father children of himself exhorting you and comforting and (charging *N+kO)
12 To the end ye might be walking in a manner worthy of God, who is calling you unto his own kingdom and glory,
unto (to walk *N+kO) you worthily of God who is calling you to the His own kingdom and glory.
13 And, for this cause, we, are also giving thanks unto God unceasingly, that, when ye received a spoken word from us—which was God’s, ye welcomed it—not as a human word, but, even as it truly is, a divine word, —which is also inwardly working itself in you who believe.
(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.
14 For, ye, became, imitators, brethren, of the assemblies of God which are in Judaea, in Christ Jesus, in that, the same things, ye, also suffered by your own fellow-countrymen, even as, they, also by the Jews:
you yourselves for imitators became, brothers, of the churches of God which are being in Judea in Christ Jesus, For (the [same] *N+KO) (these *N+kO) suffered also you yourselves from [your] own countrymen, even as also [did] they from the Jews,
15 Who have both slain the, Lord, Jesus—and the prophets, and, us, have persecuted, and, unto God, are displeasing, and, unto all men, are contrary, —
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,
16 Hindering us from speaking, unto the nations, that they might be saved, to the filling up of their own sins, continually; but anger hath overtaken them at length.
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.
17 Now, we, brethren, having been bereaved away from you, for the season of an hour, —in presence, not in heart, gave more abundant diligence, your face, to behold, with much longing;
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.
18 Wherefore, we desired to come unto you—even, I, Paul, both once and again, —and, Satan, thwarted us.
(therefore *N+kO) we wanted to come to you — I myself indeed Paul both once and twice — and hindered us Satan.
19 For what shall be our hope, or joy, or crown of boasting? Shall not even, ye, before our Lord Jesus, in his Presence?
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?
20 Ye, in fact, are our glory and joy.
You yourselves for are the glory of us and joy.
