1 Thessalonians 2:13-20

13For thisG3778 reasonG1223 we alsoG2532 constantlyG89 1thankG2168 GodG2316 that when you receivedG3880 the 2wordG3056 of GodG2316 whichG3739 you heardG191 from us, you acceptedG1209 it 3not as the wordG3056 of menG444, but for whatG2531 it reallyG230 is, the wordG3056 of GodG2316, 4whichG3739 alsoG2532 performsG1754 its workG1754 in you who believeG4100. 14For you, brethrenG80, becameG1096 5imitatorsG3402 of 6the churchesG1577 of GodG2316 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424 that are 7in JudeaG2453, for 8you alsoG2532 enduredG3958 the sameG846 sufferingsG3958 at the handsG5259 of your ownG2398 countrymenG4853, 9evenG2531 as they did from the JewsG2453, 1510who bothG2532 killedG615 the LordG2962 JesusG2424 and 11the prophetsG4396, and 12droveG1559 us out. 13They are not pleasingG700 to GodG2316, 14but hostileG1727 to allG3956 menG444, 1615hinderingG2967 us from speakingG2980 to the GentilesG1484 16soG2443 that they may be savedG4982; with the result that they alwaysG3842 17fillG378 up the measureG378 of their sinsG266. But 18wrathG3709 has comeG5348 upon them 19to the utmostG5056.

17But we, brethrenG80, having been takenG642 awayG642 from you for a 20shortG2540G5610 whileG5610--21in 22personG4383, not in 23spiritG2588--were allG4053 the moreG4053 eagerG4704 with greatG4183 desireG1939 24to seeG3708 your faceG4383. 1825For 26we wantedG2309 to comeG2064 to you--I, PaulG3972, 2728moreG2532G1364 thanG2532 onceG530--and yet 29SatanG4567 30hinderedG1465 us. 19For whoG5101 is our hopeG1680 orG2228 31joyG5479 orG2228 crownG4735 of exultationG2746? Is it not evenG2532 you, in the presenceG1715 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 at His 3233comingG3952? 20For you are 34our gloryG1391 and joyG5479.
