For yourselves, brethren
, know
our entrance
in
unto
you ,
that
it
was
not
in vain :
For you
yourselves know
, brothers
, our visit
to
you wasn't
in vain ,
But even
after
that
we
had
suffered before ,
and were
shamefully entreated
, as ye
know, at Philippi, we were
bold in our God to speak
unto
you the gospel of God with
much contention
.
but having
suffered before and been
shamefully treated
, as you
know, at Philippi, we grew
bold in our God to tell
you the Gospel of God in
much conflict
.
For our exhortation was
not of deceit
, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:
For our exhortation is
not of error
, nor of uncleanness, nor in deception.
But as we were
allowed
of
God to be put
in
trust
with the gospel, even
so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which
trieth
our hearts.
But even
as we have
been
approved
by
God to be entrusted
with the Gospel, so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, who
tests
our hearts.
For neither at any time used
we
flattering
words, as ye
know, nor a cloke
of covetousness ;
God is witness :
For neither were
we
at any time found
using
words of
flattery
, as you
know, nor a cloak
of covetousness (
God is witness ),
Nor of
men
sought
we
glory ,
neither of
you ,
nor yet
of
others, when we might have been
burdensome,
as the
apostles of Christ.
nor seeking
glory from
men
(
neither from
you nor from
others )
, when we might have claimed
authority
as apostles of Christ.
But we were gentle among you, even
as a nurse cherisheth
her children :
But we were gentle among of
you, as when
a nurse cherishes
her own
children .
So being
affectionately desirous
of
you, we were willing
to have
imparted
unto
you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye
were
dear unto
us.
Even
so ,
affectionately longing
for
you, we were well
pleased
to impart
to
you, not the Gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because you
had
become
very
dear to
us.
For ye
remember, brethren
, our labour
and travail :
for labouring
night and day, because
we would
not be
chargeable
unto
any of you, we preached unto
you the gospel of God.
For you
remember, brothers
, our labor
and travail ;
for working
night and day, that
we might
not burden
any of you, we preached to

Ye
are witnesses ,
and
God also
, how holily
and
justly
and unblameably
we behaved ourselves among
you that
believe :
You
are witnesses with
God, how holy,
righteously,
and blamelessly
we behaved ourselves toward
you who
believe .
As ye
know how we exhorted and
comforted and charged
every one of you, as a father doth
his children,
As you
know how we exhorted ,
comforted ,
and implored
every one of you, as a father does
his own
children,
That ye
would
walk worthy
of God, who hath
called
you unto
his kingdom and glory.
to
the
end
that you
should
walk worthily
of God, who calls
you into
his own
Kingdom and glory.
For this cause also thank we
God without ceasing, because
, when ye
received the word of God
which
ye
heard
of us
, ye
received
it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually
worketh
also in you that
believe.
For this cause we
also thank God without ceasing, that
, when you
received from
us
the word of the
message
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.
For ye
, brethren
, became followers
of the churches
of God which in
Judaea
are in Christ Jesus :
for ye
also have
suffered like
things of
your own countrymen, even as they have
of
the Jews :
For you
, brothers
, became imitators
of the assemblies
of God which are in Judea
in
Christ Jesus ;
for you
also suffered the
same
things from
your own countrymen, even as they did
from
the Jews ;
Who both
killed the Lord Jesus ,
and their own prophets, and have
persecuted
us ;
and they
please not
God, and are contrary to all men :
who killed both
the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and drove
us out,
and didn't
please God, and are contrary to all men ;
Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might
be saved ,
to fill up their sins alway:
for
the
wrath is
come upon
them to the uttermost.
forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may
be saved ;
to fill up their sins always.
But
wrath has
come on
them to the uttermost.
But we, brethren
, being taken
from
you for a short time
in presence, not in heart, endeavoured
the
more
abundantly
to see your face with great desire .
But we, brothers
, being bereaved
of
you for a short season,
in presence, not in heart, tried
even
harder
to see your face with great desire ,
Wherefore
we would
have
come unto
you, even
I Paul, once and again ;
but Satan hindered us.
because
we wanted
to
come to
you --indeed
, I ,
Paul, once and again --
but Satan hindered us.
For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are
not
even ye
in
the
presence
of
our Lord Jesus Christ
at his coming?
For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Isn't
it
even you,
before
our Lord Jesus at his coming?
For ye
are our glory and joy.
For you
are our glory and our
joy.
