1 Thessalonians 2:14-20

14ForG1063 youG4771, brothersG80, becameG1096 imitatorsG3402 of theG3588 churchesG1577 of GodG2316 inG1722 JudeaG2449 thatG3588 areG1510 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424. YouG4771 sufferedG3958 fromG5259 your ownG2398 countrymenG4853 the very thingsG3588 theyG846 suffered fromG5259 theG3588 JewsG2453, 15whoG3588 killedG615 bothG2532 theG3588 LordG2962 JesusG2424 andG2532 their ownG3588 prophetsG4396 andG2532 drove us out as wellG1559G1473. They are displeasingG3361G700 to GodG2316 andG2532 hostileG1727 to allG3956 menG444, 16hinderingG2967 usG1473 from tellingG2980 theG3588 GentilesG1484 howG2443 they may be savedG4982. As a resultG1519, they continueG3842 to heap upG378 theirG846 sins to full capacityG266; theG1519 utmostG5056 wrathG3709 has comeG5348 uponG1909 themG846.1

17BrothersG80, althoughG1161 weG1473 were torn awayG642 fromG575 youG4771 forG4314 a short timeG2540G5610 (in personG4383, notG3756 in heartG2588), our desireG1939 to seeG3708 youG4771 faceG4383 to face was even more intenseG4057G4704. 18ForG1360 we wantedG2309 to comeG2064 toG4314 youG4771—indeedG3303 IG1473, PaulG3972, tried againG530 andG2532 againG1364—butG2532 SatanG4567 obstructedG1465 usG1473. 19After allG1063, whoG5101 is ourG1473 hopeG1680, our joyG5479, our crownG4735 of boastingG2746, if it isG2228 notG3780 you yourselvesG4771 in the presence ofG1715 ourG1473 LordG2962 JesusG2424 atG1722 HisG846 comingG3952? 20YouG4771 areG1510 indeedG1063 ourG1473 gloryG1391 andG2532 our joyG5479.
