PaulG3972, andG2532 SilvanusG4610, andG2532 TimotheusG5095, unto the churchG1577 of the ThessaloniansG2331 which is inG1722 GodG2316 the FatherG3962 andG2532 in the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547: GraceG5485 be unto youG5213, andG2532 peaceG1515, fromG575 GodG2316 ourG2257 FatherG3962, andG2532 the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
PaulG3972, andG2532 SilvanusG4610, andG2532 TimotheusG5095, unto the churchG1577 of the ThessaloniansG2331 which is inG1722 GodG2316 the FatherG3962 andG2532 in the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547: GraceG5485 be unto youG5213, andG2532 peaceG1515, fromG575 GodG2316 ourG2257 FatherG3962, andG2532 the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
PaulG3972, andG2532 SilvanusG4610, andG2532 TimotheusG5095, unto the churchG1577 of the ThessaloniansG2331 which is inG1722 GodG2316 the FatherG3962 andG2532 in the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547: GraceG5485 be unto youG5213, andG2532 peaceG1515, fromG575 GodG2316 ourG2257 FatherG3962, andG2532 the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
NowG1161 when they had passed throughG1353 AmphipolisG295 andG2532 ApolloniaG624, they cameG2064 toG1519 ThessalonicaG2332, whereG3699 wasG2258 a synagogueG4864 of the JewsG2453:
AndG1161 PaulG3972, asG2596 his manner wasG1486, went inG1525 untoG4314 themG846, andG2532+G1909 threeG5140 sabbathG4521 days reasonedG1256 with themG846 out ofG575 the scripturesG1124,
OpeningG1272 andG2532 allegingG3908, thatG3754 ChristG5547 must needsG1163 have sufferedG3958, andG2532 risen againG450 fromG1537 the deadG3498; andG2532 thatG3754 thisG3778 JesusG2424, whomG3739 IG1473 preachG2605 unto youG5213, isG2076 ChristG5547. {whom…: or, whom, said he, I preach}
AndG2532 someG5100 ofG1537 themG846 believedG3982, andG2532 consortedG4345 with PaulG3972 andG2532 SilasG4609; andG5037 of the devoutG4576 GreeksG1672 a greatG4183 multitudeG4128, andG5037 of the chiefG4413 womenG1135 notG3756 a fewG3641.
ButG1161 the JewsG2453 which believed notG544, moved with envyG2206+G2532, took unto themG4355 certainG5100 lewdG4190 fellowsG435 of the baser sortG60, andG2532 gathered a companyG3792, and set allG2350 the cityG4172 on an uproarG2350, andG5037 assaultedG2186 the houseG3614 of JasonG2394, and soughtG2212 to bringG71 themG846 outG1519 to the peopleG1218.
AndG1161 when they foundG2147 themG846 notG3361, they drewG4951 JasonG2394 andG2532 certainG5100 brethrenG80 untoG1909 the rulers of the cityG4173, cryingG994+G3754, TheseG3778 that have turnedG387 the worldG3625 upside downG387 are comeG3918 hitherG1759 alsoG2532;
WhomG3739 JasonG2394 hath receivedG5264: andG2532 theseG3778 allG3956 doG4238 contraryG561 to the decreesG1378 of CaesarG2541, sayingG3004 that there isG1511 anotherG2087 kingG935, one JesusG2424.
AndG1161 they troubledG5015 the peopleG3793 andG2532 the rulers of the cityG4173, when they heardG191 these thingsG5023.
AndG2532 when they had takenG2983 securityG2425 ofG3844 JasonG2394, andG2532 of the otherG3062, they letG630 themG846 goG630.
ButG235 evenG2532 after that we had suffered beforeG4310, andG2532 were shamefully entreatedG5195, asG2531 ye knowG1492, atG1722 PhilippiG5375, we were boldG3955 inG1722 ourG2257 GodG2316 to speakG2980 untoG4314 youG5209 the gospelG2098 of GodG2316 withG1722 muchG4183 contentionG73.
NowG1161 when they had passed throughG1353 AmphipolisG295 andG2532 ApolloniaG624, they cameG2064 toG1519 ThessalonicaG2332, whereG3699 wasG2258 a synagogueG4864 of the JewsG2453:
AndG1161 PaulG3972, asG2596 his manner wasG1486, went inG1525 untoG4314 themG846, andG2532+G1909 threeG5140 sabbathG4521 days reasonedG1256 with themG846 out ofG575 the scripturesG1124,
OpeningG1272 andG2532 allegingG3908, thatG3754 ChristG5547 must needsG1163 have sufferedG3958, andG2532 risen againG450 fromG1537 the deadG3498; andG2532 thatG3754 thisG3778 JesusG2424, whomG3739 IG1473 preachG2605 unto youG5213, isG2076 ChristG5547. {whom…: or, whom, said he, I preach}
AndG2532 someG5100 ofG1537 themG846 believedG3982, andG2532 consortedG4345 with PaulG3972 andG2532 SilasG4609; andG5037 of the devoutG4576 GreeksG1672 a greatG4183 multitudeG4128, andG5037 of the chiefG4413 womenG1135 notG3756 a fewG3641.
ButG1161 the JewsG2453 which believed notG544, moved with envyG2206+G2532, took unto themG4355 certainG5100 lewdG4190 fellowsG435 of the baser sortG60, andG2532 gathered a companyG3792, and set allG2350 the cityG4172 on an uproarG2350, andG5037 assaultedG2186 the houseG3614 of JasonG2394, and soughtG2212 to bringG71 themG846 outG1519 to the peopleG1218.
AndG1161 when they foundG2147 themG846 notG3361, they drewG4951 JasonG2394 andG2532 certainG5100 brethrenG80 untoG1909 the rulers of the cityG4173, cryingG994+G3754, TheseG3778 that have turnedG387 the worldG3625 upside downG387 are comeG3918 hitherG1759 alsoG2532;
WhomG3739 JasonG2394 hath receivedG5264: andG2532 theseG3778 allG3956 doG4238 contraryG561 to the decreesG1378 of CaesarG2541, sayingG3004 that there isG1511 anotherG2087 kingG935, one JesusG2424.
AndG1161 they troubledG5015 the peopleG3793 andG2532 the rulers of the cityG4173, when they heardG191 these thingsG5023.
AndG2532 when they had takenG2983 securityG2425 ofG3844 JasonG2394, andG2532 of the otherG3062, they letG630 themG846 goG630.
AndG1161 the brethrenG80 immediatelyG2112 sent awayG1599+G5037 PaulG3972 andG2532 SilasG4609 byG1223 nightG3571 untoG1519 BereaG960: whoG3748 comingG3854 thither wentG549 intoG1519 the synagogueG4864 of the JewsG2453.
PaulG3972, andG2532 SilvanusG4610, andG2532 TimotheusG5095, unto the churchG1577 of the ThessaloniansG2331 which is inG1722 GodG2316 the FatherG3962 andG2532 in the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547: GraceG5485 be unto youG5213, andG2532 peaceG1515, fromG575 GodG2316 ourG2257 FatherG3962, andG2532 the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
AndG1161 thenG5119 immediatelyG2112 the brethrenG80 sent awayG1821 PaulG3972 to goG4198 as it wereG5613 toG1909 the seaG2281: butG1161+G5037 SilasG4609 andG2532 TimotheusG5095 abodeG5278 thereG1563 stillG5278.
AndG1161 they that conductedG2525 PaulG3972 broughtG71 himG846 untoG2193 AthensG116: andG2532 receivingG2983 a commandmentG1785 untoG4314 SilasG4609 andG2532 TimotheusG5095 for toG2443 comeG2064 toG4314 himG846 with all speedG5613+G5033, they departedG1826.
AndG1161 whenG5613+G5037 SilasG4609 andG2532 TimotheusG5095 were comeG2718 fromG575 MacedoniaG3109, PaulG3972 was pressedG4912 in the spiritG4151, and testifiedG1263 to the JewsG2453 that JesusG2424 was ChristG5547. {was Christ: or, is the Christ}
AndG5037 he continuedG2523 there a yearG1763 andG2532 sixG1803 monthsG3376, teachingG1321 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 amongG1722 themG846. {continued there: Gr. sat there}
AndG1161 when GallioG1058 was the deputyG445 of AchaiaG882, the JewsG2453 made insurrectionG2721 with one accord againstG3661 PaulG3972, andG2532 broughtG71 himG846 toG1909 the judgment seatG968,
SayingG3004+G3754, ThisG3778 fellow persuadethG374 menG444 to worshipG4576 GodG2316 contraryG3844 to the lawG3551.
AndG1161 when PaulG3972 was now aboutG3195 to openG455 his mouthG4750, GallioG1058 saidG2036 untoG4314 the JewsG2453, IfG1487+G3303+G3767 it wereG2258 aG5100 matter of wrongG92 orG2228 wickedG4190 lewdnessG4467, OG5599 ye JewsG2453, reasonG2596+G3056 wouldG302 that I should bearG430 with youG5216:
ButG1161 ifG1487 it beG2076 a questionG2213 ofG4012 wordsG3056 andG2532 namesG3686, andG2532 ofG2596 yourG5209 lawG3551, look yeG3700+G846 to it; forG1063 IG1473 will beG1014+G1511 noG3756 judgeG2923 of suchG5130 matters.
AndG2532 he draveG556 themG846 fromG575 the judgment seatG968.
ThenG1161 allG3956 the GreeksG1672 tookG1949 SosthenesG4988, the chief ruler of the synagogueG752, and beatG5180 him beforeG1715 the judgment seatG968. AndG2532 GallioG1058 caredG3199 for noneG3762 of those thingsG5130.
AndG1161 PaulG3972 after this tarriedG4357 there yetG2089 a goodG2425 whileG2250, and then took his leaveG657 of the brethrenG80, and sailed thenceG1602 intoG1519 SyriaG4947, andG2532 withG4862 himG846 PriscillaG4252 andG2532 AquilaG207; having shornG2751 his headG2776 inG1722 CenchreaG2747: forG1063 he hadG2192 a vowG2171.
ButG1161 nowG737 when TimotheusG5095 cameG2064 fromG575 youG5216 untoG4314 usG2248, andG2532 broughtG2097 usG2254 good tidingsG2097 of yourG5216 faithG4102 andG2532 charityG26, andG2532 thatG3754 ye haveG2192 goodG18 remembranceG3417 of usG2257 alwaysG3842, desiring greatlyG1971 to seeG1492 usG2248, asG2509 weG2249 alsoG2532 to see youG5209:
AndG1161 we beseechG2065 youG5209, brethrenG80, to knowG1492 them whichG3588 labourG2872 amongG1722 youG5213, andG2532 are overG4291 youG5216 inG1722 the LordG2962, andG2532 admonishG3560 youG5209;
ButG1161 weG2249, brethrenG80, being takenG642 fromG575 youG5216 forG4314 a shortG5610 timeG2540 in presenceG4383, notG3756 in heartG2588, endeavouredG4704 the more abundantlyG4056 to seeG1492 yourG5216 faceG4383 withG1722 greatG4183 desireG1939.
WhereforeG1352 we wouldG2309 have comeG2064 untoG4314 youG5209, evenG3303 IG1473 PaulG3972, onceG2532+G530 andG2532 againG1364; butG2532 SatanG4567 hinderedG1465 usG2248.
ButG1161 I wouldG2309 notG3756 haveG2309 youG5209 to be ignorantG50, brethrenG80, concerningG4012 them which are asleepG2837, thatG3363 ye sorrowG3076 notG3363, evenG2532 asG2531 othersG3062 whichG3588 haveG2192 noG3361 hopeG1680.
ForG1063 ifG1487 we believeG4100 thatG3754 JesusG2424 diedG599 andG2532 rose againG450, even soG3779 them alsoG2532 which sleepG2837 inG1223 JesusG2424 willG71 GodG2316 bringG71 withG4862 himG846.
ForG1063 thisG5124 we sayG3004 unto youG5213 byG1722 the wordG3056 of the LordG2962, thatG3754 weG2249 whichG3588 are aliveG2198 and remainG4035 untoG1519 the comingG3952 of the LordG2962 shallG5348 notG3364 preventG5348 them whichG3588 are asleepG2837. {prevent: or, come before, or, anticipate, or, precede}
ForG3754 the LordG2962 himselfG846 shall descendG2597 fromG575 heavenG3772 withG1722 a shoutG2752, withG1722 the voiceG5456 of the archangelG743, andG2532 withG1722 the trumpG4536 of GodG2316: andG2532 the deadG3498 inG1722 ChristG5547 shall riseG450 firstG4412:
ThenG1899 weG2249 whichG3588 are aliveG2198 and remainG4035 shall be caught upG726 togetherG260 withG4862 themG846 inG1722 the cloudsG3507, toG1519 meetG529 the LordG2962 inG1519 the airG109: andG2532 soG3779 shall weG2071 everG3842 beG2071 withG4862 the LordG2962.
WhereforeG5620 comfortG3870 one anotherG240 withG1722 theseG5125 wordsG3056. {comfort: or, exhort}
AndG2532 indeedG1063 ye doG4160 itG846 towardG1519 allG3956 the brethrenG80 whichG3588 are inG1722 allG3650 MacedoniaG3109: butG1161 we beseechG3870 youG5209, brethrenG80, that ye increaseG4052 more and moreG3123;
AndG2532 that ye studyG5389 to be quietG2270, andG2532 to doG4238 your own businessG2398, andG2532 to work withG2038 yourG5216 ownG2398 handsG5495, asG2531 we commandedG3853 youG5213;
ThatG2443 ye may walkG4043 honestlyG2156 towardG4314 them that are withoutG1854, andG2532 that ye may haveG2192 lackG5532 of nothingG3367. {of…: or, of no man}
FurthermoreG3063 thenG3767 we beseechG2065 youG5209, brethrenG80, andG2532 exhortG3870 you byG1722 the LordG2962 JesusG2424, that asG2531 ye have receivedG3880 ofG3844 usG2257 howG4459 yeG5209 oughtG1163 to walkG4043 andG2532 to pleaseG700 GodG2316, soG2443 ye would aboundG4052 more and moreG3123. {beseech: or, request} {exhort: or, beseech}
ForG1063 ye knowG1492 whatG5101 commandmentsG3852 we gaveG1325 youG5213 byG1223 the LordG2962 JesusG2424.
ForG1063 thisG5124 isG2076 the willG2307 of GodG2316, even yourG5216 sanctificationG38, that yeG5209 should abstainG567 fromG575 fornicationG4202:
That every oneG1538 of youG5216 should knowG1492 how to possessG2932 hisG1438 vesselG4632 inG1722 sanctificationG38 andG2532 honourG5092;
NotG3361 inG1722 the lustG3806 of concupiscenceG1939, evenG2532 asG2509 the GentilesG1484 whichG3588 knowG1492 notG3361 GodG2316:
That noG3361 man go beyondG5233 andG2532 defraudG4122 hisG846 brotherG80 inG1722 any matterG4229: becauseG1360 that the LordG2962 is the avengerG1558 ofG4012 allG3956 suchG5130, asG2531 weG4277 alsoG2532 have forewarnedG4277 youG5213 andG2532 testifiedG1263. {defraud: or, oppress, or, overreach} {in…: or, in the matter}
ForG1063 GodG2316 hathG2564 notG3756 calledG2564 usG2248 untoG1909 uncleannessG167, butG235 untoG1722 holinessG38.
He thereforeG5105 that despisethG114, despisethG114 notG3756 manG444, butG235 GodG2316, who hathG1325 alsoG2532 givenG1325 untoG1519 usG2248 hisG846 holyG40 SpiritG4151. {despiseth: or, rejecteth}
AndG2532 indeedG1063 ye doG4160 itG846 towardG1519 allG3956 the brethrenG80 whichG3588 are inG1722 allG3650 MacedoniaG3109: butG1161 we beseechG3870 youG5209, brethrenG80, that ye increaseG4052 more and moreG3123;
WhereforeG1352 comfortG3870 yourselves togetherG240, andG2532 edifyG3618 oneG1520 anotherG1520, evenG2531 as alsoG2532 ye doG4160. {comfort: or, exhort}
AndG1161 we beseechG2065 youG5209, brethrenG80, to knowG1492 them whichG3588 labourG2872 amongG1722 youG5213, andG2532 are overG4291 youG5216 inG1722 the LordG2962, andG2532 admonishG3560 youG5209;
AndG2532 to esteemG2233 themG846 veryG5228 highlyG1537+G4053 inG1722 loveG26 forG1223 theirG846 work's sakeG2041. And be at peaceG1514 amongG1722 yourselvesG1438.
NowG1161 we exhortG3870 youG5209, brethrenG80, warnG3560 them that are unrulyG813, comfortG3888 the feeblemindedG3642, supportG472 the weakG772, be patientG3114 towardG4314 allG3956 men. {exhort: or, beseech} {unruly: or, disorderly}
SeeG3708 that noneG3361+G5100 renderG591 evilG2556 forG473 evilG2556 unto anyG5100 man; butG235 everG3842 followG1377 that whichG3588 is goodG18, bothG2532 amongG1519 yourselvesG240, andG2532 toG1519 allG3956 men.
InG1722 every thingG3956 give thanksG2168: forG1063 thisG5124 is the willG2307 of GodG2316 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 concerningG1519 youG5209.
QuenchG4570 notG3361 the SpiritG4151.
DespiseG1848 notG3361 prophesyingsG4394.
ProveG1381 all thingsG3956; hold fastG2722 that whichG3588 is goodG2570.
KnowingG1492, brethrenG80 belovedG25, yourG5216 electionG1589 ofG5259 GodG2316. {beloved…: or, beloved of God, your election}
RememberingG3421 without ceasingG89 yourG5216 workG2041 of faithG4102, andG2532 labourG2873 of loveG26, andG2532 patienceG5281 of hopeG1680 in ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, in the sightG1715 of GodG2316 andG2532 ourG2257 FatherG3962;
SoG5620 that yeG5209 wereG1096 ensamplesG5179 to allG3956 that believeG4100 inG1722 MacedoniaG3109 andG2532 AchaiaG882.
ForG1063 theyG518 themselvesG846 shewG518 ofG4012 usG2257 what mannerG3697 of entering inG1529 we hadG2192 untoG4314 youG5209, andG2532 howG4459 ye turnedG1994 toG4314 GodG2316 fromG575 idolsG1497 to serveG1398 the livingG2198 andG2532 trueG228 GodG2316;
AndG2532 to wait forG362 hisG846 SonG5207 fromG1537 heavenG3772, whomG3739 he raisedG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498, even JesusG2424, whichG3588 deliveredG4506 usG2248 fromG575 the wrathG3709 to comeG2064.
ForG1063 yourselvesG846, brethrenG80, knowG1492 ourG2257 entrance inG1529 untoG4314 youG5209, thatG3754 it wasG1096 notG3756 in vainG2756:
ButG235 evenG2532 after that we had suffered beforeG4310, andG2532 were shamefully entreatedG5195, asG2531 ye knowG1492, atG1722 PhilippiG5375, we were boldG3955 inG1722 ourG2257 GodG2316 to speakG2980 untoG4314 youG5209 the gospelG2098 of GodG2316 withG1722 muchG4183 contentionG73.
ForG1063 ourG2257 exhortationG3874 was notG3756 ofG1537 deceitG4106, norG3761 ofG1537 uncleannessG167, norG3777 inG1722 guileG1388:
ButG235 asG2531 we were allowedG1381 ofG5259 GodG2316 to be put in trustG4100 with the gospelG2098, even soG3779 we speakG2980; notG3756 asG5613 pleasingG700 menG444, butG235 GodG2316, which triethG1381 ourG2257 heartsG2588.
ForG1063 neitherG3777 at any timeG4218 used weG1096 flatteringG2850 wordsG1722+G3056, asG2531 ye knowG1492, norG3777 a clokeG1722+G4392 of covetousnessG4124; GodG2316 is witnessG3144:
NorG3777 ofG1537 menG444 soughtG2212 we gloryG1391, neitherG3777 ofG575 youG5216, norG3777 yet ofG575 othersG243, when we mightG1410 have beenG1511 burdensomeG1722+G922, asG5613 the apostlesG652 of ChristG5547. {been…: or, used authority}
ButG235 we wereG1096 gentleG2261 amongG1722+G3319 youG5216, even asG5613 a nurseG5162 cherishethG302+G2282 herG1438 childrenG5043:
SoG3779 being affectionately desirousG2442 of youG5216, we were willingG2106 to have impartedG3330 unto youG5213, notG3756 the gospelG2098 of GodG2316 onlyG3440, butG235 alsoG2532 our ownG1438 soulsG5590, becauseG1360 ye wereG1096 dearG27 unto usG2254.
ForG1063 ye rememberG3421, brethrenG80, ourG2257 labourG2873 andG2532 travailG3449: forG1063 labouringG2038 nightG3571 andG2532 dayG2250, becauseG4314 we wouldG1912 notG3361 be chargeableG1912 unto anyG5100 of youG5216, we preachedG2784 untoG1519 youG5209 the gospelG2098 of GodG2316.
YeG5210 are witnessesG3144, andG2532 GodG2316 also, howG5613 holilyG3743 andG2532 justlyG1346 andG2532 unblameablyG274 we behaved ourselvesG1096 among youG5213 that believeG4100:
AsG2509 ye knowG1492 howG5613 we exhortedG3870 andG2532 comfortedG3888 and chargedG3140 everyG1538 oneG1520 of youG5209+G5216, asG5613 a fatherG3962 doth hisG1438 childrenG5043,
ThatG1519 yeG5209 would walkG4043 worthyG516 of GodG2316, who hath calledG2564 youG5209 untoG1519 hisG1438 kingdomG932 andG2532 gloryG1391.
For thisG5124 causeG1223 alsoG2532 thankG2168 weG2249 GodG2316 without ceasingG89, becauseG3754, when ye receivedG3880 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 which ye heardG189 ofG3844 usG2257, ye receivedG1209 it notG3756 as the wordG3056 of menG444, butG235 asG2531 it isG2076 in truthG230, the wordG3056 of GodG2316, whichG3739 effectually workethG1754 alsoG2532 inG1722 youG5213 that believeG4100.
ForG1063 yeG5210, brethrenG80, becameG1096 followersG3402 of the churchesG1577 of GodG2316 whichG3588 inG1722 JudaeaG2449 areG5607 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424: forG3754 yeG5210 alsoG2532 have sufferedG3958 like thingsG5024 ofG5259 your ownG2398 countrymenG4853, evenG2532 asG2531 they haveG846 ofG5259 the JewsG2453:
Who bothG2532 killedG615 the LordG2962 JesusG2424, andG2532 their ownG2398 prophetsG4396, andG2532 have persecutedG1559 usG2248; andG2532 they pleaseG700 notG3361 GodG2316, andG2532 are contraryG1727 to allG3956 menG444: {persecuted us: or, chased us out}
ForbiddingG2967 usG2248 to speakG2980 to the GentilesG1484 thatG2443 they might be savedG4982, toG1519 fill upG378 theirG846 sinsG266 alwayG3842: forG1161 the wrathG3709 is comeG5348 uponG1909 themG846 toG1519 the uttermostG5056.
ButG1161 weG2249, brethrenG80, being takenG642 fromG575 youG5216 forG4314 a shortG5610 timeG2540 in presenceG4383, notG3756 in heartG2588, endeavouredG4704 the more abundantlyG4056 to seeG1492 yourG5216 faceG4383 withG1722 greatG4183 desireG1939.
WhereforeG1352 we wouldG2309 have comeG2064 untoG4314 youG5209, evenG3303 IG1473 PaulG3972, onceG2532+G530 andG2532 againG1364; butG2532 SatanG4567 hinderedG1465 usG2248.
ForG1063 whatG5101 is ourG2257 hopeG1680, orG2228 joyG5479, orG2228 crownG4735 of rejoicingG2746+G2228? Are notG3780 evenG2532 yeG5210 in the presenceG1715 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 atG1722 hisG846 comingG3952? {rejoicing: or, glorying}
ForG1063 yeG5210 areG2075 ourG2257 gloryG1391 andG2532 joyG5479.
WhereforeG1352 when we couldG4722 no longerG3371 forbearG4722, we thought it goodG2106 to be leftG2641 atG1722 AthensG116 aloneG3441;
AndG2532 sentG3992 TimotheusG5095, ourG2257 brotherG80, andG2532 ministerG1249 of GodG2316, andG2532 ourG2257 fellowlabourerG4904 inG1722 the gospelG2098 of ChristG5547, toG1519 establishG4741 youG5209, andG2532 to comfortG3870 youG5209 concerningG4012 yourG5216 faithG4102:
That no manG3367 should be movedG4525 byG1722 theseG5025 afflictionsG2347: forG1063 yourselvesG846 knowG1492 thatG3754 we are appointedG2749 thereuntoG1519+G5124. {there unto: or, to sufferings, or, to persecution}
ForG1063 verilyG2532, whenG3753 we wereG2258 withG4314 youG5209, we toldG4302 youG5213 beforeG4302 thatG3754 we shouldG3195 suffer tribulationG2346; evenG2532 asG2531 it came to passG1096, andG2532 ye knowG1492.
For thisG5124 causeG1223, when IG2504 couldG4722 no longerG3371 forbearG4722, I sentG3992 toG1519 knowG1097 yourG5216 faithG4102, lest by some meansG3381+G4458 the tempterG3985 have temptedG3985 youG5209, andG2532 ourG2257 labourG2873 beG1096 inG1519 vainG2756.
ButG1161 nowG737 when TimotheusG5095 cameG2064 fromG575 youG5216 untoG4314 usG2248, andG2532 broughtG2097 usG2254 good tidingsG2097 of yourG5216 faithG4102 andG2532 charityG26, andG2532 thatG3754 ye haveG2192 goodG18 remembranceG3417 of usG2257 alwaysG3842, desiring greatlyG1971 to seeG1492 usG2248, asG2509 weG2249 alsoG2532 to see youG5209:
ThereforeG1223+G5124, brethrenG80, we were comfortedG3870 overG1909 youG5213 inG1909 allG3956 ourG2257 afflictionG2347 andG2532 distressG318 byG1223 yourG5216 faithG4102:
ForG3754 nowG3568 we liveG2198, ifG1437 yeG5210 stand fastG4739 inG1722 the LordG2962.
ForG1063 whatG5101 thanksG2169 can weG1410 renderG467 to GodG2316 againG467 forG4012 youG5216, forG1909 allG3956 the joyG5479 wherewithG3739 we joyG5463 forG1223 your sakesG5209 beforeG1715 ourG2257 GodG2316;
NightG3571 andG2532 dayG2250 prayingG1189 exceedinglyG1537+G4053+G5228 thatG1519 we might seeG1492 yourG5216 faceG4383, andG2532 might perfectG2675 that which is lackingG5303 in yourG5216 faithG4102?
NowG1161 GodG2316 himselfG846 andG2532 ourG2257 FatherG3962, andG2532 ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, directG2720 ourG2257 wayG3598 untoG4314 youG5209. {direct: or, guide}
AndG1161 the LordG2962 makeG4121 youG5209 to increaseG4121 andG2532 aboundG4052 in loveG26 oneG240 towardG1519 anotherG240, andG2532 towardG1519 allG3956 men, evenG2532 asG2509 weG2249 do towardG1519 youG5209:
To the endG1519 he may stablishG4741 yourG5216 heartsG2588 unblameableG273 inG1722 holinessG42 beforeG1715 GodG2316, evenG2532 ourG2257 FatherG3962, atG1722 the comingG3952 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 withG3326 allG3956 hisG846 saintsG40. {saints: or, holy ones, or, angels}
FurthermoreG3063 thenG3767 we beseechG2065 youG5209, brethrenG80, andG2532 exhortG3870 you byG1722 the LordG2962 JesusG2424, that asG2531 ye have receivedG3880 ofG3844 usG2257 howG4459 yeG5209 oughtG1163 to walkG4043 andG2532 to pleaseG700 GodG2316, soG2443 ye would aboundG4052 more and moreG3123. {beseech: or, request} {exhort: or, beseech}
ForG1063 ye knowG1492 whatG5101 commandmentsG3852 we gaveG1325 youG5213 byG1223 the LordG2962 JesusG2424.
ForG1063 thisG5124 isG2076 the willG2307 of GodG2316, even yourG5216 sanctificationG38, that yeG5209 should abstainG567 fromG575 fornicationG4202:
That every oneG1538 of youG5216 should knowG1492 how to possessG2932 hisG1438 vesselG4632 inG1722 sanctificationG38 andG2532 honourG5092;
NotG3361 inG1722 the lustG3806 of concupiscenceG1939, evenG2532 asG2509 the GentilesG1484 whichG3588 knowG1492 notG3361 GodG2316:
That noG3361 man go beyondG5233 andG2532 defraudG4122 hisG846 brotherG80 inG1722 any matterG4229: becauseG1360 that the LordG2962 is the avengerG1558 ofG4012 allG3956 suchG5130, asG2531 weG4277 alsoG2532 have forewarnedG4277 youG5213 andG2532 testifiedG1263. {defraud: or, oppress, or, overreach} {in…: or, in the matter}
ForG1063 GodG2316 hathG2564 notG3756 calledG2564 usG2248 untoG1909 uncleannessG167, butG235 untoG1722 holinessG38.
He thereforeG5105 that despisethG114, despisethG114 notG3756 manG444, butG235 GodG2316, who hathG1325 alsoG2532 givenG1325 untoG1519 usG2248 hisG846 holyG40 SpiritG4151. {despiseth: or, rejecteth}
ButG1161 as touchingG4012 brotherly loveG5360 ye needG2192+G5532 notG3756 that I writeG1125 unto youG5213: forG1063 yeG5210 yourselvesG846 areG2075 taught of GodG2312 toG1519 loveG25 one anotherG240.
AndG2532 indeedG1063 ye doG4160 itG846 towardG1519 allG3956 the brethrenG80 whichG3588 are inG1722 allG3650 MacedoniaG3109: butG1161 we beseechG3870 youG5209, brethrenG80, that ye increaseG4052 more and moreG3123;
AndG2532 that ye studyG5389 to be quietG2270, andG2532 to doG4238 your own businessG2398, andG2532 to work withG2038 yourG5216 ownG2398 handsG5495, asG2531 we commandedG3853 youG5213;
ThatG2443 ye may walkG4043 honestlyG2156 towardG4314 them that are withoutG1854, andG2532 that ye may haveG2192 lackG5532 of nothingG3367. {of…: or, of no man}
ButG1161 I wouldG2309 notG3756 haveG2309 youG5209 to be ignorantG50, brethrenG80, concerningG4012 them which are asleepG2837, thatG3363 ye sorrowG3076 notG3363, evenG2532 asG2531 othersG3062 whichG3588 haveG2192 noG3361 hopeG1680.
ForG1063 ifG1487 we believeG4100 thatG3754 JesusG2424 diedG599 andG2532 rose againG450, even soG3779 them alsoG2532 which sleepG2837 inG1223 JesusG2424 willG71 GodG2316 bringG71 withG4862 himG846.
ForG1063 thisG5124 we sayG3004 unto youG5213 byG1722 the wordG3056 of the LordG2962, thatG3754 weG2249 whichG3588 are aliveG2198 and remainG4035 untoG1519 the comingG3952 of the LordG2962 shallG5348 notG3364 preventG5348 them whichG3588 are asleepG2837. {prevent: or, come before, or, anticipate, or, precede}
ForG3754 the LordG2962 himselfG846 shall descendG2597 fromG575 heavenG3772 withG1722 a shoutG2752, withG1722 the voiceG5456 of the archangelG743, andG2532 withG1722 the trumpG4536 of GodG2316: andG2532 the deadG3498 inG1722 ChristG5547 shall riseG450 firstG4412:
ThenG1899 weG2249 whichG3588 are aliveG2198 and remainG4035 shall be caught upG726 togetherG260 withG4862 themG846 inG1722 the cloudsG3507, toG1519 meetG529 the LordG2962 inG1519 the airG109: andG2532 soG3779 shall weG2071 everG3842 beG2071 withG4862 the LordG2962.
WhereforeG5620 comfortG3870 one anotherG240 withG1722 theseG5125 wordsG3056. {comfort: or, exhort}
ButG1161 ofG4012 the timesG5550 andG2532 the seasonsG2540, brethrenG80, ye haveG2192 noG3756 needG5532 that I writeG1125 unto youG5213.
ForG1063 yourselvesG846 knowG1492 perfectlyG199 thatG3754 the dayG2250 of the LordG2962 soG3779 comethG2064 asG5613 a thiefG2812 inG1722 the nightG3571.
ForG1063 whenG3752 they shall sayG3004, PeaceG1515 andG2532 safetyG803; thenG5119 suddenG160 destructionG3639 cometh uponG2186 themG846, asG5618 travailG5604 uponG1722 a woman with childG1064+G2192; andG2532 they shallG1628 notG3364 escapeG1628.
ButG1161 yeG5210, brethrenG80, areG2075 notG3756 inG1722 darknessG4655, thatG2443 that dayG2250 should overtakeG2638 youG5209 asG5613 a thiefG2812.
YeG5210 areG2075 allG3956 the childrenG5207 of lightG5457, andG2532 the childrenG5207 of the dayG2250: we areG2070 notG3756 of the nightG3571, norG3761 of darknessG4655.
ThereforeG686+G3767 let usG2518 notG3361 sleepG2518, asG5613+G2532 do othersG3062; butG235 let us watchG1127 andG2532 be soberG3525.
ForG1063 they that sleepG2518 sleepG2518 in the nightG3571; andG2532 they that be drunkenG3182 are drunkenG3184 in the nightG3571.
ButG1161 letG3525 usG2249, who areG5607 of the dayG2250, be soberG3525, putting onG1746 the breastplateG2382 of faithG4102 andG2532 loveG26; andG2532 for an helmetG4030, the hopeG1680 of salvationG4991.
ForG3754 GodG2316 hathG5087 notG3756 appointedG5087 usG2248 toG1519 wrathG3709, butG235 toG1519 obtainG4047 salvationG4991 byG1223 ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547,
WhoG3588 diedG599 forG5228 usG2257, thatG2443, whetherG1535 we wakeG1127 orG1535 sleepG2518, we should liveG2198 togetherG260 withG4862 himG846.
WhereforeG1352 comfortG3870 yourselves togetherG240, andG2532 edifyG3618 oneG1520 anotherG1520, evenG2531 as alsoG2532 ye doG4160. {comfort: or, exhort}
AndG1161 we beseechG2065 youG5209, brethrenG80, to knowG1492 them whichG3588 labourG2872 amongG1722 youG5213, andG2532 are overG4291 youG5216 inG1722 the LordG2962, andG2532 admonishG3560 youG5209;
AndG2532 to esteemG2233 themG846 veryG5228 highlyG1537+G4053 inG1722 loveG26 forG1223 theirG846 work's sakeG2041. And be at peaceG1514 amongG1722 yourselvesG1438.
NowG1161 we exhortG3870 youG5209, brethrenG80, warnG3560 them that are unrulyG813, comfortG3888 the feeblemindedG3642, supportG472 the weakG772, be patientG3114 towardG4314 allG3956 men. {exhort: or, beseech} {unruly: or, disorderly}
SeeG3708 that noneG3361+G5100 renderG591 evilG2556 forG473 evilG2556 unto anyG5100 man; butG235 everG3842 followG1377 that whichG3588 is goodG18, bothG2532 amongG1519 yourselvesG240, andG2532 toG1519 allG3956 men.
InG1722 every thingG3956 give thanksG2168: forG1063 thisG5124 is the willG2307 of GodG2316 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 concerningG1519 youG5209.
QuenchG4570 notG3361 the SpiritG4151.
DespiseG1848 notG3361 prophesyingsG4394.
ProveG1381 all thingsG3956; hold fastG2722 that whichG3588 is goodG2570.
AbstainG567 fromG575 allG3956 appearanceG1491 of evilG4190.
AndG1161 the veryG846 GodG2316 of peaceG1515 sanctifyG37 youG5209 whollyG3651; andG2532 I pray God yourG5216 wholeG3648 spiritG4151 andG2532 soulG5590 andG2532 bodyG4983 be preservedG5083 blamelessG274 untoG1722 the comingG3952 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
FaithfulG4103 is he that callethG2564 youG5209, whoG3739 alsoG2532 will doG4160 it.
BrethrenG80, prayG4336 forG4012 usG2257.
GreetG782 allG3956 the brethrenG80 withG1722 an holyG40 kissG5370.
I chargeG3726 youG5209 by the LordG2962 that this epistleG1992 be readG314 unto allG3956 the holyG40 brethrenG80. {charge: or, adjure}
The graceG5485 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 be withG3326 youG5216. AmenG281. {The first epistle to the Thessalonians was written from Athens.}
To the endG1519 he may stablishG4741 yourG5216 heartsG2588 unblameableG273 inG1722 holinessG42 beforeG1715 GodG2316, evenG2532 ourG2257 FatherG3962, atG1722 the comingG3952 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 withG3326 allG3956 hisG846 saintsG40. {saints: or, holy ones, or, angels}
AndG2532 yeG5210 becameG1096 followersG3402 of usG2257, andG2532 of the LordG2962, having receivedG1209 the wordG3056 inG1722 muchG4183 afflictionG2347, withG3326 joyG5479 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151:
AndG2532 yeG5210 becameG1096 followersG3402 of usG2257, andG2532 of the LordG2962, having receivedG1209 the wordG3056 inG1722 muchG4183 afflictionG2347, withG3326 joyG5479 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151:
For thisG5124 causeG1223 alsoG2532 thankG2168 weG2249 GodG2316 without ceasingG89, becauseG3754, when ye receivedG3880 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 which ye heardG189 ofG3844 usG2257, ye receivedG1209 it notG3756 as the wordG3056 of menG444, butG235 asG2531 it isG2076 in truthG230, the wordG3056 of GodG2316, whichG3739 effectually workethG1754 alsoG2532 inG1722 youG5213 that believeG4100.
ForG1063 fromG575 youG5216 sounded outG1837 the wordG3056 of the LordG2962 notG3756 onlyG3440 inG1722 MacedoniaG3109 andG2532 AchaiaG882, butG235 alsoG2532 inG1722 everyG3956 placeG5117 yourG5216 faithG4102 toG4314 God-wardG2316 is spread abroadG1831; soG5620 that weG2248 needG5532 notG3361+G2192 to speakG2980 any thingG5100.
ForG1063 theyG518 themselvesG846 shewG518 ofG4012 usG2257 what mannerG3697 of entering inG1529 we hadG2192 untoG4314 youG5209, andG2532 howG4459 ye turnedG1994 toG4314 GodG2316 fromG575 idolsG1497 to serveG1398 the livingG2198 andG2532 trueG228 GodG2316;
ForG1063 theyG518 themselvesG846 shewG518 ofG4012 usG2257 what mannerG3697 of entering inG1529 we hadG2192 untoG4314 youG5209, andG2532 howG4459 ye turnedG1994 toG4314 GodG2316 fromG575 idolsG1497 to serveG1398 the livingG2198 andG2532 trueG228 GodG2316;
He thereforeG5105 that despisethG114, despisethG114 notG3756 manG444, butG235 GodG2316, who hathG1325 alsoG2532 givenG1325 untoG1519 usG2248 hisG846 holyG40 SpiritG4151. {despiseth: or, rejecteth}
RememberingG3421 without ceasingG89 yourG5216 workG2041 of faithG4102, andG2532 labourG2873 of loveG26, andG2532 patienceG5281 of hopeG1680 in ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, in the sightG1715 of GodG2316 andG2532 ourG2257 FatherG3962;
ThereforeG1223+G5124, brethrenG80, we were comfortedG3870 overG1909 youG5213 inG1909 allG3956 ourG2257 afflictionG2347 andG2532 distressG318 byG1223 yourG5216 faithG4102:
RememberingG3421 without ceasingG89 yourG5216 workG2041 of faithG4102, andG2532 labourG2873 of loveG26, andG2532 patienceG5281 of hopeG1680 in ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, in the sightG1715 of GodG2316 andG2532 ourG2257 FatherG3962;
ButG1161 nowG737 when TimotheusG5095 cameG2064 fromG575 youG5216 untoG4314 usG2248, andG2532 broughtG2097 usG2254 good tidingsG2097 of yourG5216 faithG4102 andG2532 charityG26, andG2532 thatG3754 ye haveG2192 goodG18 remembranceG3417 of usG2257 alwaysG3842, desiring greatlyG1971 to seeG1492 usG2248, asG2509 weG2249 alsoG2532 to see youG5209:
RememberingG3421 without ceasingG89 yourG5216 workG2041 of faithG4102, andG2532 labourG2873 of loveG26, andG2532 patienceG5281 of hopeG1680 in ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, in the sightG1715 of GodG2316 andG2532 ourG2257 FatherG3962;
ForG3754 nowG3568 we liveG2198, ifG1437 yeG5210 stand fastG4739 inG1722 the LordG2962.
SoG5620 that yeG5209 wereG1096 ensamplesG5179 to allG3956 that believeG4100 inG1722 MacedoniaG3109 andG2532 AchaiaG882.
ForG1063 fromG575 youG5216 sounded outG1837 the wordG3056 of the LordG2962 notG3756 onlyG3440 inG1722 MacedoniaG3109 andG2532 AchaiaG882, butG235 alsoG2532 inG1722 everyG3956 placeG5117 yourG5216 faithG4102 toG4314 God-wardG2316 is spread abroadG1831; soG5620 that weG2248 needG5532 notG3361+G2192 to speakG2980 any thingG5100.
ButG1161 as touchingG4012 brotherly loveG5360 ye needG2192+G5532 notG3756 that I writeG1125 unto youG5213: forG1063 yeG5210 yourselvesG846 areG2075 taught of GodG2312 toG1519 loveG25 one anotherG240.
AndG2532 to wait forG362 hisG846 SonG5207 fromG1537 heavenG3772, whomG3739 he raisedG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498, even JesusG2424, whichG3588 deliveredG4506 usG2248 fromG575 the wrathG3709 to comeG2064.
ForG1063 whatG5101 is ourG2257 hopeG1680, orG2228 joyG5479, orG2228 crownG4735 of rejoicingG2746+G2228? Are notG3780 evenG2532 yeG5210 in the presenceG1715 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 atG1722 hisG846 comingG3952? {rejoicing: or, glorying}
To the endG1519 he may stablishG4741 yourG5216 heartsG2588 unblameableG273 inG1722 holinessG42 beforeG1715 GodG2316, evenG2532 ourG2257 FatherG3962, atG1722 the comingG3952 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 withG3326 allG3956 hisG846 saintsG40. {saints: or, holy ones, or, angels}
ButG1161 I wouldG2309 notG3756 haveG2309 youG5209 to be ignorantG50, brethrenG80, concerningG4012 them which are asleepG2837, thatG3363 ye sorrowG3076 notG3363, evenG2532 asG2531 othersG3062 whichG3588 haveG2192 noG3361 hopeG1680.
ForG1063 ifG1487 we believeG4100 thatG3754 JesusG2424 diedG599 andG2532 rose againG450, even soG3779 them alsoG2532 which sleepG2837 inG1223 JesusG2424 willG71 GodG2316 bringG71 withG4862 himG846.
ForG1063 thisG5124 we sayG3004 unto youG5213 byG1722 the wordG3056 of the LordG2962, thatG3754 weG2249 whichG3588 are aliveG2198 and remainG4035 untoG1519 the comingG3952 of the LordG2962 shallG5348 notG3364 preventG5348 them whichG3588 are asleepG2837. {prevent: or, come before, or, anticipate, or, precede}
ForG3754 the LordG2962 himselfG846 shall descendG2597 fromG575 heavenG3772 withG1722 a shoutG2752, withG1722 the voiceG5456 of the archangelG743, andG2532 withG1722 the trumpG4536 of GodG2316: andG2532 the deadG3498 inG1722 ChristG5547 shall riseG450 firstG4412:
ThenG1899 weG2249 whichG3588 are aliveG2198 and remainG4035 shall be caught upG726 togetherG260 withG4862 themG846 inG1722 the cloudsG3507, toG1519 meetG529 the LordG2962 inG1519 the airG109: andG2532 soG3779 shall weG2071 everG3842 beG2071 withG4862 the LordG2962.
WhereforeG5620 comfortG3870 one anotherG240 withG1722 theseG5125 wordsG3056. {comfort: or, exhort}
ButG1161 ofG4012 the timesG5550 andG2532 the seasonsG2540, brethrenG80, ye haveG2192 noG3756 needG5532 that I writeG1125 unto youG5213.
ForG1063 yourselvesG846 knowG1492 perfectlyG199 thatG3754 the dayG2250 of the LordG2962 soG3779 comethG2064 asG5613 a thiefG2812 inG1722 the nightG3571.
ForG1063 whenG3752 they shall sayG3004, PeaceG1515 andG2532 safetyG803; thenG5119 suddenG160 destructionG3639 cometh uponG2186 themG846, asG5618 travailG5604 uponG1722 a woman with childG1064+G2192; andG2532 they shallG1628 notG3364 escapeG1628.
ButG1161 yeG5210, brethrenG80, areG2075 notG3756 inG1722 darknessG4655, thatG2443 that dayG2250 should overtakeG2638 youG5209 asG5613 a thiefG2812.
YeG5210 areG2075 allG3956 the childrenG5207 of lightG5457, andG2532 the childrenG5207 of the dayG2250: we areG2070 notG3756 of the nightG3571, norG3761 of darknessG4655.
ThereforeG686+G3767 let usG2518 notG3361 sleepG2518, asG5613+G2532 do othersG3062; butG235 let us watchG1127 andG2532 be soberG3525.
ForG1063 they that sleepG2518 sleepG2518 in the nightG3571; andG2532 they that be drunkenG3182 are drunkenG3184 in the nightG3571.
ButG1161 letG3525 usG2249, who areG5607 of the dayG2250, be soberG3525, putting onG1746 the breastplateG2382 of faithG4102 andG2532 loveG26; andG2532 for an helmetG4030, the hopeG1680 of salvationG4991.
ForG3754 GodG2316 hathG5087 notG3756 appointedG5087 usG2248 toG1519 wrathG3709, butG235 toG1519 obtainG4047 salvationG4991 byG1223 ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547,
WhoG3588 diedG599 forG5228 usG2257, thatG2443, whetherG1535 we wakeG1127 orG1535 sleepG2518, we should liveG2198 togetherG260 withG4862 himG846.
WhereforeG1352 comfortG3870 yourselves togetherG240, andG2532 edifyG3618 oneG1520 anotherG1520, evenG2531 as alsoG2532 ye doG4160. {comfort: or, exhort}
AndG1161 the veryG846 GodG2316 of peaceG1515 sanctifyG37 youG5209 whollyG3651; andG2532 I pray God yourG5216 wholeG3648 spiritG4151 andG2532 soulG5590 andG2532 bodyG4983 be preservedG5083 blamelessG274 untoG1722 the comingG3952 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
ButG1161 yeG5210, brethrenG80, areG2075 notG3756 inG1722 darknessG4655, thatG2443 that dayG2250 should overtakeG2638 youG5209 asG5613 a thiefG2812.
YeG5210 areG2075 allG3956 the childrenG5207 of lightG5457, andG2532 the childrenG5207 of the dayG2250: we areG2070 notG3756 of the nightG3571, norG3761 of darknessG4655.
ThereforeG686+G3767 let usG2518 notG3361 sleepG2518, asG5613+G2532 do othersG3062; butG235 let us watchG1127 andG2532 be soberG3525.
ThereforeG686+G3767 let usG2518 notG3361 sleepG2518, asG5613+G2532 do othersG3062; butG235 let us watchG1127 andG2532 be soberG3525.
ForG1063 they that sleepG2518 sleepG2518 in the nightG3571; andG2532 they that be drunkenG3182 are drunkenG3184 in the nightG3571.
ButG1161 letG3525 usG2249, who areG5607 of the dayG2250, be soberG3525, putting onG1746 the breastplateG2382 of faithG4102 andG2532 loveG26; andG2532 for an helmetG4030, the hopeG1680 of salvationG4991.
