1Thessalonians:2:1-16




updv@1Thessalonians:2:1 @ For yourselves, brothers, know our entering in to you(note:){+}(:note), that it has not been found vain:

updv@1Thessalonians:2:2 @ but having suffered before and been shamefully treated, as you(note:){+}(:note) know, at Philippi, we waxed bold in our God to speak to you{+} the good news of God in much conflict.

updv@1Thessalonians:2:3 @ For our exhortation [is] not of error, nor of impurity, nor in guile:

updv@1Thessalonians:2:4 @ but even as we have been approved of God to be entrusted with the good news, so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God who proves our hearts.

updv@1Thessalonians:2:5 @ For neither at any time did we come in words of flattery, as you(note:){+}(:note) know, nor in a cloak of greed, God is witness;

updv@1Thessalonians:2:6 @ nor seeking glory of men, neither from you(note:){+}(:note) nor from others.

updv@1Thessalonians:2:7 @ We could have been a burden as apostles of Christ. But we became juveniles among you(note:){+}(:note), as when a nurse cherishes her own children:

updv@1Thessalonians:2:8 @ even so, being affectionately desirous of you(note:){+}(:note), we were well pleased to impart to you{+}, not the good news of God only, but also our own souls, because you{+} became very dear to us.

updv@1Thessalonians:2:9 @ For you(note:){+}(:note) remember, brothers, our labor and travail: working night and day, that we might not burden any of you{+}, we preached to you{+} the good news of God.

updv@1Thessalonians:2:10 @ You(note:){+}(:note) are witnesses, and God [also], how holily and righteously and unblamably we became toward you{+} who believe:

updv@1Thessalonians:2:11 @ as you(note:){+}(:note) know how we [dealt with] each one of you{+}, as a father with his own children,

updv@1Thessalonians:2:12 @ exhorting you(note:){+}(:note), and encouraging, and testifying, to the end that you{+} should walk worthily of God, who calls you{+} into his own kingdom and glory.

updv@1Thessalonians:2:13 @ And for this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that, when you(note:){+}(:note) received from us the word of the message, [even the word] of God, you{+} accepted [it] not [as] the word of men, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which also works in you{+} who believe.

updv@1Thessalonians:2:14 @ For you(note:){+}(:note), brothers, became imitators of the churches of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus: for you{+} also suffered the same things of your{+} own countrymen, even as they did of the Jews;

updv@1Thessalonians:2:15 @ who both killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove out us, and did not please God, and are contrary to all men;

updv@1Thessalonians:2:16 @ forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved; to fill up their sins always: but the wrath has come upon them to the uttermost.
