1 Thessalonians 2:1-7
1For you yourselvesG846 knowG3609, brethrenG80, that our 12comingG1529 to you 3was not in vainG2756,
2but after we had alreadyG4310 sufferedG4310 and been 4mistreatedG5195 in 5PhilippiG5375, as you knowG3609, we hadG3955 the boldnessG3955 in our GodG2316 6to speakG2980 to you the 7gospelG2098 of GodG2316 amidG1722 muchG4183 89oppositionG73.
3For our 10exhortationG3874 does not come from 11errorG4106 orG3761 12impurityG167 orG3761 13by wayG1722 of 14deceitG1388;
415but justG2531 as we have been approvedG1381 by GodG2316 to be 16entrustedG4100 with the gospelG2098, soG3779 we speakG2980, 17not as pleasingG700 menG444, but GodG2316 who 1819examinesG1381 our heartsG2588.
5For we neverG3777G4218 cameG1096 20with flatteringG2850 speechG3056, as you knowG3609, norG3777 with 21a pretextG4392 for greedG4124--22GodG2316 is witnessG3144--
6norG3777 did we 23seekG2212 gloryG1391 from menG444, eitherG3777 from you orG3777 from othersG243, even though as 24apostlesG652 of ChristG5547 25we might have 26assertedG1510G922 our authorityG922.
7But we 27provedG1096 to be 2829gentleG2261 30amongG1722G3319 you, 31as a nursingG5162 mother 32tenderlyG2282 caresG2282 for her ownG1438 childrenG5043.
