Paul’s Ministry1 For you yourselves° know°, brethren°, that our Iacoming° to you bwas not in vain°, 2 but after we had already° suffered° and been amistreated° in bPhilippi°, as you know°, we had° the boldness° in our God° cto speak° to you the dgospel° of God° amid° much° Ieopposition°. 3 For our aexhortation° does not [come] from berror° or° cimpurity° or° Iby way° of ddeceit°; 4 abut just° as we have been approved° by God° to be bentrusted° with the gospel°, so° we speak°, cnot as pleasing° men°, but God° who Idexamines° our hearts°. 5 For we never°° came° Iwith flattering° speech°, as you know°, nor° with aa pretext° for greed°—bGod° is witness°— 6 nor° did we aseek° glory° from men°, either° from you or° from others°, even though as bapostles° of Christ° Iwe might have IIasserted°° our authority°. 7 But we Iproved° to be IIagentle° IIIamong°° you, bas a nursing° [mother] IVtenderly° cares° for her own° children°. 8 Having° so° fond° an affection° for you, we were well-pleased° to aimpart° to you not only° the bgospel° of God° but also° our own° Ilives°, because° you had become° IIvery° dear° to us.

In what manner the Gospel was brought and preached to the Thessalonians, and in what sort also they received it.1 ¶ Forº yourselves,º brethren,º knowºª ourº entrance inº untoº you,º thatº it wasºª notº in vain:º 2 Butº evenº after that we had suffered before,ºª andº were shamefully entreated,ºª asº ye know,ºª atº Philippi,º we were boldºª inº ourº Godº to speakºª untoº youº the² gospelº of Godº withº muchº contention.º 3 Forº ourº exhortationº [was] notº ofº deceit,º norº ofº uncleanness,º norº inº guile:º 4 Butº asº we were allowedºª ofº Godº to be put in trustºª with the² gospel,º even soº we speak;ºª notº asº pleasingºª men,º butº God,º which triethºª ourº hearts.º 5 Forº neitherº at any timeº used we¹ª flattering¹ words,ºº²² asº ye know,ºª norº a clokeº¹ of covetousness;º Godº [is] witness:º 6 Norº ofº menº soughtºª we glory,º neitherº ofº you,º norº [yet] ofº others,º when we mightºª have beenºª burdensome,ºº asº the apostlesº of Christ.º 7 Butº we wereºª gentleº amongºº you,º even asº² a nurseº cherishethº¹ª herº children:º 8 Soº being affectionately desirousºª of you,º we were willingºª to have impartedºª unto you,º notº the² gospelº of Godº only,º butº alsoº our ownº souls,º becauseº ye wereºª dearº unto us.º 9 Forº ye remember,ºª brethren,º ourº labourº andº travail:º forº labouringºª nightº andº day,º because¹ we would¹ª notº be chargeableºª unto anyº of you,º we preachedºª untoº youº the² gospelº of God.º 10 Yeº [are] witnesses,º andº Godº [also], howº holilyº andº justlyº andº unblameablyº we behaved ourselvesºª among youº that believe:ºª 11 Asº ye knowºª howº we exhortedºª² andº comfortedºª and² chargedºª everyº oneº of you,º¹ asº a fatherº [doth] hisº children,º 12 ¹ That¹ yeº would walkºª worthyº of God,º who hath calledºª youº untoº hisº kingdomº andº glory.º 13 For this¹ causeº² alsoº thankºª weº Godº without ceasing,º because,º when ye receivedºª the wordº of Godº which ye heard¹² ofº us,º ye receivedºª [it] notº [as] the wordº of men,º butº asº it isºª in truth,º the wordº of God,º whichº effectually workethºª alsoº inº youº that believe.ºª 14 Forº ye,º brethren,º becameºª followersº of the² churchesº of Godº which¹ inº Judaeaº areºª inº Christº Jesus:º forº yeº alsoº have sufferedºª like thingsº ofº your ownº countrymen,º even¹ asº they² [have]¹² ofº the² Jews:º 15 Who both¹ killedºª² the² Lordº Jesus,º andº their ownº prophets,º andº have persecutedºª us;º andº they pleaseºª notº God,º andº are contraryº to allº men:º 16 Forbiddingºª usº to speakºª to the² Gentilesº thatº they might be saved,ºª to¹ fill upºª their¹² sinsº alway:º forº the² wrathº is comeºª uponº themº toº the uttermost.º 17 Butº we,º brethren,º being takenºª fromº youº forº a short¹ timeº² in presence,º notº in heart,º endeavouredºª the more abundantlyº to seeºª yourº faceº withº greatº desire.º [1] Jb 39:16; Ps 73:13; 127:1; Is 49:4; 65:23; Hab 2:13; 1Co 15:2, 10, 58; 2Co 6:1; Ga 2:2; 4:11; Php 2:16; 1Th 1:3; 2:13; 3:5; 2Th 3:1.
