I Thessalonians 2 (kjv)

For^G1063 yourselves^G846, brethren^G80, know^G1492 our^G2257 entrance in^G1529 unto^G4314 you^G5209, that^G3754 it was^G1096 not^G3756 in vain^G2756:²But^G235 even^G2532 after that we had suffered before^G4310, and^G2532 were shamefully entreated^G5195, as^G2531 ye know^G1492, at^G1722 Philippi^G5375, we were bold^G3955 in^G1722 our^G2257 God^G2316 to speak^G2980 unto^G4314 you^G5209 the gospel^G2098 of God^G2316 with^G1722 much^G4183 contention^G73.³For^G1063 our^G2257 exhortation^G3874 was not^G3756 of^G1537 deceit^G4106, nor^G3761 of^G1537 uncleanness^G167, nor^G3777 in^G1722 guile^G1388:⁴But^G235 as^G2531 we were allowed^G1381 of^G5259 God^G2316 to be put in trust^G4100 with the gospel^G2098, even so^G3779 we speak^G2980; not^G3756 as^G5613 pleasing^G700 men^G444, but^G235 God^G2316, which trieth^G1381 our^G2257 hearts^G2588.⁵For^G1063 neither^G3777 at any time^G4218 used we^G1096 flattering^G2850 words^{G1722 G3056}, as^G2531 ye know^G1492, nor^G3777 a cloke^{G1722 G4392} of covetousness^G4124; God^G2316 is witness^G3144:⁶Nor^G3777 of^G1537 men^G444 sought^G2212 we glory^G1391, neither^G3777 of^G575 you^G5216, nor^G3777 yet of^G575 others^G243, when we might^G1410 have been^G1511 burdensome^{G1722 G922}, as^G5613 the apostles^G652 of Christ^G5547.⁷But^G235 we were^G1096 gentle^G2261 among^{G1722 G3319} you^G5216, even as^G5613 a nurse^G5162 cherisheth^{G302 G2282} her^G1438 children^G5043:⁸So^G3779 being affectionately desirous^G2442 of you^G5216, we were willing^G2106 to have imparted^G3330 unto you^G5213, not^G3756 the gospel^G2098 of God^G2316 only^G3440, but^G235 also^G2532 our own^G1438 souls^G5590, because^G1360 ye were^G1096 dear^G27 unto us^G2254.⁹For^G1063 ye remember^G3421, brethren^G80, our^G2257 labour^G2873 and^G2532 travail^G3449: for^G1063 labouring^G2038 night^G3571 and^G2532 day^G2250, because^G4314 we would^G1912 not^G3361 be chargeable^G1912 unto any^G5100 of you^G5216, we preached^G2784 unto^G1519 you^G5209 the gospel^G2098 of God^G2316.¹⁰Ye^G5210 are witnesses^G3144, and^G2532 God^G2316 also, how^G5613 holily^G3743 and^G2532 justly^G1346 and^G2532 unblameably^G274 we behaved ourselves^G1096 among you^G5213 that believe^G4100:¹¹As^G2509 ye know^G1492 how^G5613 we exhorted^G3870 and^G2532 comforted^G3888 and charged^G3140 every^G1538 one^G1520 of you^{G5209 G5216}, as^G5613 a father^G3962 doth his^G1438 children^G5043,^12G2532 That^G1519 ye^G5209 would walk^G4043 worthy^G516 of God^G2316, who hath called^G2564 you^G5209 unto^G1519 his^G1438 kingdom^G932 and^G2532 glory^G1391.¹³For this^G5124 cause^G1223 also^G2532 thank^G2168 we^G2249 God^G2316 without ceasing^G89, because^G3754, when ye received^G3880 the word^G3056 of God^G2316 which ye heard^G189 of^G3844 us^G2257, ye received^G1209 it not^G3756 as the word^G3056 of men^G444, but^G235 as^G2531 it is^G2076 in truth^G230, the word^G3056 of God^G2316, which^G3739 effectually worketh^G1754 also^G2532 in^G1722 you^G5213 that believe^G4100.¹⁴For^G1063 ye^G5210, brethren^G80, became^G1096 followers^G3402 of the churches^G1577 of God^G2316 which^G3588 in^G1722 Judaea^G2449 are^G5607 in^G1722 Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424: for^G3754 ye^G5210 also^G2532 have suffered^G3958 like things^G5024 of^G5259 your own^G2398 countrymen^G4853, even^G2532 as^G2531 they have^G846 of^G5259 the Jews^G2453:¹⁵Who both^G2532 killed^G615 the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424, and^G2532 their own^G2398 prophets^G4396, and^G2532 have persecuted^G1559 us^G2248; and^G2532 they please^G700 not^G3361 God^G2316, and^G2532 are contrary^G1727 to all^G3956 men^G444:¹⁶Forbidding^G2967 us^G2248 to speak^G2980 to the Gentiles^G1484 that^G2443 they might be saved^G4982, to^G1519 fill up^G378 their^G846 sins^G266 alway^G3842: for^G1161 the wrath^G3709 is come^G5348 upon^G1909 them^G846 to^G1519 the uttermost^G5056.¹⁷But^G1161 we^G2249, brethren^G80, being taken^G642 from^G575 you^G5216 for^G4314 a short^G5610 time^G2540 in presence^G4383, not^G3756 in heart^G2588, endeavoured^G4704 the more abundantly^G4056 to see^G1492 your^G5216 face^G4383 with^G1722 great^G4183 desire^G1939.¹⁸Wherefore^G1352 we would^G2309 have come^G2064 unto^G4314 you^G5209, even^G3303 I^G1473 Paul^G3972, once^{G2532 G530} and^G2532 again^G1364; but^G2532 Satan^G4567 hindered^G1465 us^G2248.¹⁹For^G1063 what^G5101 is our^G2257 hope^G1680, or^G2228 joy^G5479, or^G2228 crown^G4735 of rejoicing^G2746?^G2228 Are not^G3780 even^G2532 ye^G5210 in the presence^G1715 of our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 at^G1722 his^G846 coming^G3952?²⁰For^G1063 ye^G5210 are^G2075 our^G2257 glory^G1391 and^G2532 joy^G5479.
