1 Thessalonians 2:1-16

2:1

For
<1063>

yourselves
<846>_,

brethren
<80>_,

know
<1492> (5758)

our
<2257>

entrance in
<1529>

unto
<4314>

you
<5209>_,

that
<3754>

it was
<1096> (5754)

not
<3756>

in vain
<2756>_:

2:2

But
<235>

even
<2532>

after that we had suffered before
<4310> (5631)_,

and
<2532>

were shamefully entreated
<5195> (5685)_,

as
<2531>

ye know
<1492> (5758)_,

at
<1722>

Philippi
<5375>_,

we were bold
<3955> (5662)

in
<1722>

our
<2257>

God
<2316>

to speak
<2980> (5658)

unto
<4314>

you
<5209>

the gospel
<2098>

of God
<2316>

with
<1722>

much
<4183>

contention
<73>_.

2:3

For
<1063>

our
<2257>

exhortation
<3874>

[was] not
<3756>

of
<1537>

deceit
<4106>_,

nor
<3761>

of
<1537>

uncleanness
<167>_,

nor
<3777>

in
<1722>

guile
<1388>_:

2:4

But
<235>

as
<2531>

we were allowed
<1381> (5769)

of
<5259>

God
<2316>

to be put in trust
<4100> (5683)

with the gospel
<2098>_,

even so
<3779>

we speak
<2980> (5719)_;

not
<3756>

as
<5613>

pleasing
<700> (5723)

men
<444>_,

but
<235>

God
<2316>_,

which trieth
<1381> (5723)

our
<2257>

hearts
<2588>_.

2:5

For
<1063>

neither
<3777>

at any time
<4218>

used we
<1096> (5675)

flattering
<2850>

words
<1722> <3056>_,

as
<2531>

ye know
<1492> (5758)_,

nor
<3777>

a cloke
<1722> <4392>

of covetousness
<4124>_;

God
<2316>

[is] witness
<3144>_:

2:6

Nor
<3777>

of
<1537>

men
<444>

sought
<2212> (5723)

we glory
<1391>_,

neither
<3777>

of
<575>

you
<5216>_,

nor
<3777>

[yet] of
<575>

others
<243>_,

when we might
<1410> (5740)

have been
<1511> (5750)

burdensome
<1722> <922>_,

as
<5613>

the apostles
<652>

of Christ
<5547>_.

{been...: or, used authority}

2:7

But
<235>

we were
<1096> (5675)

gentle
<2261>

among
<1722> <3319>

you
<5216>_,

even as
<5613>

a nurse
<5162>

cherisheth
<302> <2282> (5725)

her
<1438>

children
<5043>_:

2:8

So
<3779>

being affectionately desirous
<2442> (5734)

of you
<5216>_,

we were willing
<2106> (5707)

to have imparted
<3330> (5629)

unto you
<5213>_,

not
<3756>

the gospel
<2098>

of God
<2316>

only
<3440>_,

but
<235>

also
<2532>

our own
<1438>

souls
<5590>_,

because
<1360>

ye were
<1096> (5769)

dear
<27>

unto us
<2254>_.

2:9

For
<1063>

ye remember
<3421> (5719)_,

brethren
<80>_,

our
<2257>

labour
<2873>

and
<2532>

travail
<3449>_:

for
<1063>

labouring
<2038> (5740)

night
<3571>

and
<2532>

day
<2250>_,

because
<4314>

we would
<1912> (0)

not
<3361>

be chargeable
<1912> (5658)

unto any
<5100>

of you
<5216>_,

we preached
<2784> (5656)

unto
<1519>

you
<5209>

the gospel
<2098>

of God
<2316>_.

2:10

Ye
<5210>

[are] witnesses
<3144>_,

and
<2532>

God
<2316>

[also], how
<5613>

holily
<3743>

and
<2532>

justly
<1346>

and
<2532>

unblameably
<274>

we behaved ourselves
<1096> (5675)

among you
<5213>

that believe
<4100> (5723)_:

2:11

As
<2509>

ye know
<1492> (5758)

how
<5613>

we exhorted
<3870> (5723)

and
<2532>

comforted
<3888> (5740)

and charged
<3140> (5734)

every
<1538>

one
<1520>

of you
<5209> <5216>_,

as
<5613>

a father
<3962>

[doth] his
<1438>

children
<5043>_,

2:12

<2532>@ That
<1519>

ye
<5209>

would walk
<4043> (5658)

worthy
<516>

of God
<2316>_,

who hath called
<2564> (5723)

you
<5209>

unto
<1519>

his
<1438>

kingdom
<932>

and
<2532>

glory
<1391>_.

2:13

For this
<5124>

cause
<1223>

also
<2532>

thank
<2168> (5719)

we
<2249>

God
<2316>

without ceasing
<89>_,

because
<3754>_,

when ye received
<3880> (5631)

the word
<3056>

of God
<2316>

which ye heard
<189>

of
<3844>

us
<2257>_,

ye received
<1209> (5662)

[it] not
<3756>

[as] the word
<3056>

of men
<444>_,

but
<235>

as
<2531>

it is
<2076> (5748)

in truth
<230>_,

the word
<3056>

of God
<2316>_,

which
<3739>

effectually worketh
<1754> (5731)

also
<2532>

in
<1722>

you
<5213>

that believe
<4100> (5723)_.

2:14

For
<1063>

ye
<5210>_,

brethren
<80>_,

became
<1096> (5675)

followers
<3402>

of the churches
<1577>

of God
<2316>

which
<3588>

in
<1722>

Judaea
<2449>

are
<5607> (5752)

in
<1722>

Christ
<5547>

Jesus
<2424>_:

for
<3754>

ye
<5210>

also
<2532>

have suffered
<3958> (5627)

like things
<5024>

of
<5259>

your own
<2398>

countrymen
<4853>_,

even
<2532>

as
<2531>

they [have]
<846>

of
<5259>

the Jews
<2453>_:

2:15

Who both
<2532>

killed
<615> (5660)

the Lord
<2962>

Jesus
<2424>_,

and
<2532>

their own
<2398>

prophets
<4396>_,

and
<2532>

have persecuted
<1559> (5660)

us
<2248>_;

and
<2532>

they please
<700> (5723)

not
<3361>

God
<2316>_,

and
<2532>

are contrary
<1727>

to all
<3956>

men
<444>_:

{persecuted us: or, chased us out}

2:16

Forbidding
<2967> (5723)

us
<2248>

to speak
<2980> (5658)

to the Gentiles
<1484>

that
<2443>

they might be saved
<4982> (5686)_,

to
<1519>

fill up
<378> (5658)

their
<846>

sins
<266>

alway
<3842>_:

for
<1161>

the wrath
<3709>

is come
<5348> (5656)

upon
<1909>

them
<846>

to
<1519>

the uttermost
<5056>_.
