1 Thessalonians 2
1 For, yourselves, know, brethren, our entrance which was unto you—that it hath not proved void;
αυτοι γαρ οιδατε αδελφοι την εισοδον ημων την προσ υμασ οτι ου κενη γεγονεν
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.
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 guile,
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 glad-message, so, we speak, —not as, unto men, giving pleasure, but unto God—who proveth our hearts.
αλλα καθωσ δεδοκιμασμεθα υπο του θεου πιστευθηναι το ευαγγελιον ουτωσ λαλουμεν ουχ ωσ ανθρωποισ αρεσκοντεσ αλλα τω θεω τω δοκιμαζοντι τασ καρδιασ ημων
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!
ουτε γαρ ποτε εν λογω κολακειασ εγενηθημεν καθωσ οιδατε ουτε εν προφασει πλεονεξιασ θεοσ μαρτυσ
6 Nor, of men, seeking glory—either from you, or from others, though we could have assumed, dignity, as Apostles of Christ;
ουτε ζητουντεσ εξ ανθρωπων δοξαν ουτε αφ υμων ουτε απο αλλων δυναμενοι εν βαρει ειναι ωσ χριστου αποστολοι
7 But we became gentle in your midst, —as though, a nursing mother, had been cherishing her own children:
αλλ εγενηθημεν ηπιοι εν μεσω υμων ωσ αν τροφοσ θαλπη τα εαυτησ τεκνα
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.
ουτωσ ομειρομενοι υμων ευδοκουμεν μεταδουναι υμιν ου μονον το ευαγγελιον του θεου αλλα και τασ εαυτων ψυχασ διοτι αγαπητοι ημιν γεγενησθε
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,
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 Ye, are witnesses—God also, how kindly and righteously and blamelessly, unto you who were believing, we were found to behave;
υμεισ μαρτυρεσ και ο θεοσ ωσ οσιωσ και δικαιωσ και αμεμπτωσ υμιν τοισ πιστευουσιν εγενηθημεν
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, —
καθαπερ οιδατε ωσ ενα εκαστον υμων ωσ πατηρ τεκνα εαυτου παρακαλουντεσ υμασ και παραμυθουμενοι
12 To the end ye might be walking in a manner worthy of God, who is calling you unto his own kingdom and glory,
και μαρτυρομενοι εισ το περιπατησαι υμασ αξιωσ του θεου του καλουντοσ υμασ εισ την εαυτου βασιλειαν και δοξαν
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.
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 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:
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 have both slain the, Lord, Jesus—and the prophets, and, us, have persecuted, and, unto God, are displeasing, and, unto all men, are contrary, —
των και τον κυριον αποκτειναντων ιησουν και τουσ ιδιουσ προφητασ και ημασ εκδιωξαντων και θεω μη αρεσκοντων και πασιν ανθρωποισ εναντιων
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.
κωλυοντων ημασ τοισ εθνεσιν λαλησαι ινα σωθωσιν εισ το αναπληρωσαι αυτων τασ αμαρτιασ παντοτε εφθασεν δε επ αυτουσ η οργη εισ τελοσ
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;
ημεισ δε αδελφοι απορφανισθεντεσ αφ υμων προσ καιρον ωρασ προσωπω ου καρδια περισσοτερωσ εσπουδασαμεν το προσωπον υμων ιδειν εν πολλη επιθυμια
18 Wherefore, we desired to come unto you—even, I, Paul, both once and again, —and, Satan, thwarted us.
διο ηθελησαμεν ελθειν προσ υμασ εγω μεν παυλοσ και απαξ και δισ και ενεκοψεν ημασ ο σατανασ
19 For what shall be our hope, or joy, or crown of boasting? Shall not even, ye, before our Lord Jesus, in his Presence?
τισ γαρ ημων ελπισ η χαρα η στεφανοσ καυχησεωσ η ουχι και υμεισ εμπροσθεν του κυριου ημων ιησου εν τη αυτου παρουσια
20 Ye, in fact, are our glory and joy.
υμεισ γαρ εστε η δοξα ημων και η χαρα
