2We give thanksG2168 to GodG3588G2316 alwaysG3842 forG4012 youG4771 allG3956, makingG4160 mentionG3417 of youG4771 inG1909 ourG1473 prayersG3588G4335;

3RememberingG3421 without ceasingG89 yourG4771 workG3588G2041 of faithG3588G4102, andG2532 labourG3588G2873 of loveG3588G26, andG2532 patienceG3588G5281 of hopeG3588G1680 in ourG1473 LordG3588G2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, in the sightG1715 of GodG3588G2316 andG2532 ourG1473 FatherG3962;

4KnowingG1492, brethrenG80 belovedG25, yourG4771 electionG3588G1589 ofG5259 GodG2316.

5ForG3754 ourG1473 gospelG3588G2098 cameG1096 notG3756 untoG1519 youG4771 inG1722 wordG3056 onlyG3440, butG235 alsoG2532 inG1722 powerG1411, andG2532 inG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151, andG2532 inG1722 muchG4183 assuranceG4136; asG2531 ye knowG1492 what manner of menG3634 we wereG1096 amongG1722 youG4771 forG1223 your sakeG4771.

6AndG2532 yeG4771 becameG1096 followersG3402 of usG1473, andG2532 of the LordG3588G2962, having receivedG1209 the wordG3588G3056 inG1722 muchG4183 afflictionG2347, withG3326 joyG5479 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151:

7So thatG5620 yeG4771 wereG1096 ensamplesG5179 to allG3956 thatG3588 believeG4100 inG1722 MacedoniaG3588G3109 andG2532 AchaiaG3588G882.

8ForG1063 fromG575 youG4771 sounded outG1837 the wordG3588G3056 of the LordG3588G2962 notG3756 onlyG3440 inG1722 MacedoniaG3588G3109 andG2532 AchaiaG882, butG235 alsoG2532 inG1722 everyG3956 placeG5117 yourG4771 faithG3588G4102 toG4314 God-wardG3588G2316 is spread abroadG1831; so thatG5620 weG1473 needG2192 notG3361 to speakG2980 any thingG5100.

9ForG1063 theyG518 themselvesG846 shewG518 ofG4012 usG1473 what manner ofG3697 entering inG1529 we hadG2192 untoG4314 youG4771, andG2532 howG4459 ye turnedG1994 toG4314 GodG3588G2316 fromG575 idolsG3588G1497 to serveG1398 the livingG2198 andG2532 trueG228 GodG2316;

10AndG2532 to wait forG362 hisG846 SonG3588G5207 fromG1537 heavenG3588G3772, whomG3739 he raisedG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498, even JesusG2424, whichG3588 deliveredG4506 usG1473 fromG575 the wrathG3588G3709 to comeG2064.
