2:1 For 1063 yourselves 846, brethren 80, know 1492 5758 our 2257 entrance in 1529 unto 4314 you 5209, that 3754 it was 1096 5754 not 3756 in vain 2756:

2:2 But 235 even 2532 after that we had suffered before 4310 5631, and 2532 were shamefully entreated 5195 5685, as 2531 ye know 1492 5758, at 1722 Philippi 5375, we were bold 3955 5662 in 1722 our 2257 God 2316 to speak 2980 5658 unto 4314 you 5209 the gospel 2098 of God 2316 with 1722 much 4183 contention 73.

2:3 For 1063 our 2257 exhortation 3874 [was] not 3756 of 1537 deceit 4106, nor 3761 of 1537 uncleanness 167, nor 3777 in 1722 guile 1388:

2:4 But 235 as 2531 we were allowed 1381 5769 of 5259 God 2316 to be put in trust 4100 5683 with the gospel 2098, even so 3779 we speak 2980 5719; not 3756 as 5613 pleasing 700 5723 men 444, but 235 God 2316, which trieth 1381 5723 our 2257 hearts 2588.

2:5 For 1063 neither 3777 at any time 4218 used we 1096 5675 flattering 2850 words 1722 3056, as 2531 ye know 1492 5758, nor 3777 a cloke 1722 4392 of covetousness 4124; God 2316 [is] witness 3144:

2:6 Nor 3777 of 1537 men 444 sought 2212 5723 we glory 1391, neither 3777 of 575 you 5216, nor 3777 [yet] of 575 others 243, when we might 1410 5740 have been 1511 5750 burdensome 1722 922, as 5613 the apostles 652 of Christ 5547.(been…: or, used authority)

2:7 But 235 we were 1096 5675 gentle 2261 among 1722 3319 you 5216, even as 5613 a nurse 5162 cherisheth 302 2282 5725 her 1438 children 5043:

2:8 So 3779 being affectionately desirous 2442 5734 of you 5216, we were willing 2106 5707 to have imparted 3330 5629 unto you 5213, not 3756 the gospel 2098 of God 2316 only 3440, but 235 also 2532 our own 1438 souls 5590, because 1360 ye were 1096 5769 dear 27 unto us 2254.

2:9 For 1063 ye remember 3421 5719, brethren 80, our 2257 labour 2873 and 2532 travail 3449: for 1063 labouring 2038 5740 night 3571 and 2532 day 2250, because 4314 we would 1912 0 not 3361 be chargeable 1912 5658 unto any 5100 of you 5216, we preached 2784 5656 unto 1519 you 5209 the gospel 2098 of God 2316.

2:10 Ye 5210 [are] witnesses 3144, and 2532 God 2316 [also], how 5613 holily 3743 and 2532 justly 1346 and 2532 unblameably 274 we behaved ourselves 1096 5675 among you 5213 that believe 4100 5723:

2:11 As 2509 ye know 1492 5758 how 5613 we exhorted 3870 5723 and 2532 comforted 3888 5740 and charged 3140 5734 every 1538 one 1520 of you 5209 5216, as 5613 a father 3962 [doth] his 1438 children 5043,

2:12 2532 That 1519 ye 5209 would walk 4043 5658 worthy 516 of God 2316, who hath called 2564 5723 you 5209 unto 1519 his 1438 kingdom 932 and 2532 glory 1391.

2:13 For this 5124 cause 1223 also 2532 thank 2168 5719 we 2249 God 2316 without ceasing 89, because 3754, when ye received 3880 5631 the word 3056 of God 2316 which ye heard 189 of 3844 us 2257, ye received 1209 5662 [it] not 3756 [as] the word 3056 of men 444, but 235 as 2531 it is 2076 5748 in truth 230, the word 3056 of God 2316, which 3739 effectually worketh 1754 5731 also 2532 in 1722 you 5213 that believe 4100 5723.

2:14 For 1063 ye 5210, brethren 80, became 1096 5675 followers 3402 of the churches 1577 of God 2316 which 3588 in 1722 Judaea 2449 are 5607 5752 in 1722 Christ 5547 Jesus 2424: for 3754 ye 5210 also 2532 have suffered 3958 5627 like things 5024 of 5259 your own 2398 countrymen 4853, even 2532 as 2531 they [have] 846 of 5259 the Jews 2453:

2:15 Who both 2532 killed 615 5660 the Lord 2962 Jesus 2424, and 2532 their own 2398 prophets 4396, and 2532 have persecuted 1559 5660 us 2248; and 2532 they please 700 5723 not 3361 God 2316, and 2532 are contrary 1727 to all 3956 men 444:(persecuted us: or, chased us out)

2:16 Forbidding 2967 5723 us 2248 to speak 2980 5658 to the Gentiles 1484 that 2443 they might be saved 4982 5686, to 1519 fill up 378 5658 their 846 sins 266 alway 3842: for 1161 the wrath 3709 is come 5348 5656 upon 1909 them 846 to 1519 the uttermost 5056.

2:17 But 1161 we 2249, brethren 80, being taken 642 5685 from 575 you 5216 for 4314 a short 5610 time 2540 in presence 4383, not 3756 in heart 2588, endeavoured 4704 5656 the more abundantly 4056 to see 1492 5629 your 5216 face 4383 with 1722 great 4183 desire 1939.

2:18 Wherefore 1352 we would 2309 5656 have come 2064 5629 unto 4314 you 5209, even 3303 I 1473 Paul 3972, once 2532 530 and 2532 again 1364; but 2532 Satan 4567 hindered 1465 5656 us 2248.

2:19 For 1063 what 5101 [is] our 2257 hope 1680, or 2228 joy 5479, or 2228 crown 4735 of rejoicing 2746? 2228 [Are] not 3780 even 2532 ye 5210 in the presence 1715 of our 2257 Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547 at 1722 his 846 coming 3952?(rejoicing: or, glorying)

2:20 For 1063 ye 5210 are 2075 5748 our 2257 glory 1391 and 2532 joy 5479.
