1ForG1063 yourselvesG0846, brethrenG0080, knowG1492 ourG2257 entrance inG1529 untoG4314 youG5209, thatG3754 it wasG1096 notG3756 in vainG2756: 2ButG0235 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 contentionG0073. 3ForG1063 ourG2257 exhortationG3874 was notG3756 ofG1537 deceitG4106, norG3761 ofG1537 uncleannessG0167, norG3777 inG1722 guileG1388: 4ButG0235 asG2531 we were allowedG1381 ofG5259 GodG2316 to be put in trust withG4100 the gospelG2098, even soG3779 we speakG2980; notG3756 asG5613 pleasingG0700 menG0444, butG0235 GodG2316, whichG3588 triethG1381 ourG2257 heartsG2588. 5ForG1063 neitherG3777 at any timeG4218 used weG1096 flatteringG2850 wordsG3056, asG2531 ye knowG1492, norG3777 a clokeG4392 of covetousnessG4124; GodG2316 is witnessG3144: 6NorG3777 ofG1537 menG0444 sought weG2212 gloryG1391, neitherG3777 ofG0575 youG5216, norG3777 yet ofG0575 othersG0243, when we mightG1410 have beenG1511 burdenG0922someG1722, asG5613 the apostlesG0652 of ChristG5547. 7ButG0235 we wereG1096 gentleG2261 amongG1722 youG5216, evenG0302 asG5613 a nurseG5162 cherishethG2282 herG1438 childrenG5043: 8 SoG3779 being affectionately desirousG2442 of youG5216, we were willingG2106 to have impartedG3330 unto youG5213, notG3756 the gospelG2098 of GodG2316 onlyG3440, butG0235 alsoG2532 our ownG1438 soulsG5590, becauseG1360 ye wereG1096 dearG0027 unto usG2254. 9ForG1063 ye rememberG3421, brethrenG0080, ourG2257 labourG2873 andG2532 travailG3449: forG1063 labouringG2038 nightG3571 andG2532 dayG2250, becauseG4314 we wouldG1912 notG3361 be chargeable untoG1912 anyG5100 of youG5216, we preachedG2784 untoG1519 youG5209 the gospelG2098 of GodG2316. 10YeG5210 are witnessesG3144, andG2532 GodG2316 also , howG5613 holilyG3743 andG2532 justlyG1346 andG2532 unblameablyG0274 we behaved ourselvesG1096 among youG5213 thatG3588 believeG4100: 11AsG2509 ye knowG1492 howG5613 we exhortedG3870 andG2532 comfortedG3888 andG2532 chargedG3140 everyG1538 oneG1520 of youG5216, asG5613 a fatherG3962 doth hisG1438 childrenG5043, 12ThatG1519 yeG5209 would walkG4043 worthyG0516 of GodG2316, whoG3588 hath calledG2564 youG5209 untoG1519 hisG1438 kingdomG0932 andG2532 gloryG1391.

13ForG1223 thisG5124 causeG1223 alsoG2532 thankG2168 weG2249 GodG2316 without ceasingG0089, becauseG3754, when ye receivedG3880 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 which ye heardG0189 ofG3844 usG2257, ye receivedG1209 it notG3756 as the wordG3056 of menG0444, butG0235 asG2531 it isG2076 in truthG0230, the wordG3056 of GodG2316, whichG3739 effectually workethG1754 alsoG2532 inG1722 youG5213 thatG3588 believeG4100. 14ForG1063 yeG5210, brethrenG0080, 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 theyG0846 have ofG5259 the JewsG2453: 15WhoG3588 bothG2532 killedG0615 the LordG2962 JesusG2424, andG2532 their ownG2398 prophetsG4396, andG2532 have persecutedG1559 usG2248; andG2532 they pleaseG0700 notG3361 GodG2316, andG2532 are contraryG1727 to allG3956 menG0444: 16ForbiddingG2967 usG2248 to speakG2980 to the GentilesG1484 thatG2443 they might be savedG4982, toG1519 fill upG0378 theirG0846 sinsG0266 alwayG3842: forG1161 the wrathG3709 is comeG5348 uponG1909 themG0846 toG1519 the uttermostG5056.

17ButG1161 weG2249, brethrenG0080, being takenG0642 fromG0575 youG5216 forG4314 a shortG5610 timeG2540 in presenceG4383, notG3756 in heartG2588, endeavouredG4704 the more abundantlyG4056 to seeG1492 yourG5216 faceG4383 withG1722 greatG4183 desireG1939. 18WhereforeG1352 we would haveG2309 comeG2064 untoG4314 youG5209, evenG3303 IG1473 PaulG3972, onceG0530 andG2532 againG1364; butG2532 SatanG4567 hinderedG1465 usG2248. 19ForG1063 whatG5101 is ourG2257 hopeG1680, orG2228 joyG5479, orG2228 crownG4735 of rejoicingG2746? Are notG3780 evenG2532 yeG5210 in the presence ofG1715 ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 atG1722 hisG0846 comingG3952? 20ForG1063 yeG5210 areG2075 ourG2257 gloryG1391 andG2532 joyG5479.

1FurthermoreG3063 thenG3767 we beseechG2065 youG5209, brethrenG0080, andG2532 exhortG3870 you byG1722 the LordG2962 JesusG2424, that asG2531 ye have receivedG3880 ofG3844 usG2257 howG4459 yeG5209 oughtG1163 to walkG4043 andG2532 to pleaseG0700 GodG2316, soG2443 ye would aboundG4052 more and moreG3123. 2ForG1063 ye knowG1492 whatG5101 commandmentsG3852 we gaveG1325 youG5213 byG1223 the LordG2962 JesusG2424. 3ForG1063 thisG5124 isG2076 the willG2307 of GodG2316, even yourG5216 sanctificationG0038, thatG0567 yeG5209 should abstainG0567 fromG0575 fornicationG4202: 4ThatG1492 every oneG1538 of youG5216 should know howG1492 to possessG2932 hisG1438 vesselG4632 inG1722 sanctificationG0038 andG2532 honourG5092; 5NotG3361 inG1722 the lustG3806 of concupiscenceG1939, evenG2532 asG2509 the GentilesG1484 whichG3588 knowG1492 notG3361 GodG2316: 6ThatG3588 noG3361 man go beyondG5233 andG2532 defraudG4122 hisG0846 brotherG0080 inG1722 any matterG4229: because thatG1360 the LordG2962 is the avengerG1558 ofG4012 allG3956 suchG5130, asG2531 weG4277 alsoG2532 have forewarnedG4277 youG5213 andG2532 testifiedG1263. 7ForG1063 GodG2316 hathG2564 notG3756 calledG2564 usG2248 untoG1909 uncleannessG0167, butG0235 untoG1722 holinessG0038. 8HeG0114 thereforeG5105 that despisethG0114, despisethG0114 notG3756 manG0444, butG0235 GodG2316, whoG3588 hathG1325 alsoG2532 givenG1325 untoG1519 usG2248 hisG0846 holyG0040 SpiritG4151. 9ButG1161 as touchingG4012 brotherly loveG5360 ye needG2192 notG3756 that I writeG1125 unto youG5213: forG1063 yeG5210 yourselvesG0846 areG2075 taught of GodG2312 toG1519 loveG0025 one anotherG0240. 10AndG2532 indeedG1063 ye doG4160 itG0846 towardG1519 allG3956 the brethrenG0080 whichG3588 are inG1722 allG3650 MacedoniaG3109: butG1161 we beseechG3870 youG5209, brethrenG0080, that ye increaseG4052 more and moreG3123; 11AndG2532 that ye studyG5389 to be quietG2270, andG2532 to doG4238 your own businessG2398, andG2532 to workG2038 withG2398 yourG5216 ownG2398 handsG5495, asG2531 we commandedG3853 youG5213; 12ThatG2443 ye may walkG4043 honestlyG2156 towardG4314 them that areG3588 withoutG1854, andG2532 that ye may haveG2192 lackG5532 of nothingG3367.
