: 01 . For yourselves <0846 - autos - > , brethren <0080 - adephos - > , know <1492 - eido - > our entrance <1529 - eisodos - > in unto you , that it was not in vain <2756 - kenos - > :
: 02 But even <2532 - kai - > after that we had suffered <4310 - propascho - > before <4310 - propascho - > , and were shamefully <5195 - hubrizo - > entreated <5195 - hubrizo - > , as ye know <1492 - eido - > , at <1722 - en - > Philippi <5375 - Philippoi - > , we were bold <3955 - parrhesiazomai - > in our God <2316 - theos - > to speak <2980 - laleo - > unto you the gospel <2098 - euaggelion - > of God <2316 - theos - > with much <4183 - polus - > contention <0073 - agon - > .
: 03 For our exhortation <3874 - paraklesis - > [ was ] not of deceit <4106 - plane - > , nor <3761 - oude - > of uncleanness <0167 - akatharsia - > , nor <3777 - oute - > in guile <1388 - dolos - > :
: 04 But as we were allowed <1381 - dokimazo - > of God <2316 - theos - > to be put <4160 - poieo - > in trust <4100 - pisteuo - > with the gospel <2098 - euaggelion - > , even so <3779 - houto - > we speak <2980 - laleo - > ; not as pleasing <0700 - aresko - > men <0444 - anthropos - > , but God <2316 - theos - > , which trieth <1381 - dokimazo - > our hearts <2588 - kardia - > .
: 05 For neither <3777 - oute - > at <4218 - pote - > any <4218 - pote - > time <4218 - pote - > used <1722 - en - > we flattering <2850 - kolakeia - > words <3056 - logos - > , as ye know <1492 - eido - > , nor <3777 - oute - > a cloke <4392 - prophasis - > of covetousness <4124 - pleonexia - > ; God <2316 - theos - > [ is ] witness <3144 - martus - > :
: 06 Nor <3777 - oute - > of men <0444 - anthropos - > sought <2212 - zeteo - > we glory <1391 - doxa - > , neither <3777 - oute - > of you , nor <3777 - oute - > [ yet ] of others <0243 - allos - > , when we might <1410 - dunamai - > have been burdensome <0922 - baros - > , as the apostles <0652 - apostolos - > of Christ <5547 - Christos - > .
: 07 . But we were gentle <2261 - epios - > among <3319 - mesos - > you , even as a nurse <5162 - trophos - > cherisheth <2282 - thalpo - > her children <5043 - teknon - > :
: 08 So <3779 - houto - > being affectionately <2442 - himeiromai - > desirous <2442 - himeiromai - > of you , we were willing <2106 - eudokeo - > to have imparted <3330 - metadidomi - > unto you , not the gospel <2098 - euaggelion - > of God <2316 - theos - > only <3440 - monon - > , but also <2532 - kai - > our own <1438 - heautou - > souls <5590 - psuche - > , because <1360 - dioti - > ye were dear <0027 - agapetos - > unto us .
: 09 For ye remember <3421 - mnemoneuo - > , brethren <0080 - adephos - > , our labour <2873 - kopos - > and travail <3449 - mochthos - > : for labouring <2873 - kopos - > night <3571 - nux - > and day <2250 - hemera - > , because <4314 - pros - > we would not be chargeable <1912 - epibareo - > unto any <5100 - tis - > of you , we preached <2784 - kerusso - > unto you the gospel <2098 - euaggelion - > of God <2316 - theos - > .
: 10 Ye [ are ] witnesses <3144 - martus - > , and God <2316 - theos - > [ also <2532 - kai - > ] , how <5613 - hos - > holily <3743 - hosios - > and justly <1346 - dikaios - > and unblameably <0274 - amemptos - > we behaved <1096 - ginomai - > ourselves among you that believe <4100 - pisteuo - > :
: 11 As ye know <1492 - eido - > how <5613 - hos - > we exhorted and comforted <3888 - paramutheomai - > and charged <3146 - mastigoo - > every <1538 - hekastos - > one <1520 - heis - > of you , as a father <3962 - pater - > [ doth ] his children <5043 - teknon - > ,
: 12 That ye would walk <4043 - peripateo - > worthy <0516 - axios - > of God <2316 - theos - > , who <3588 - ho - > hath called <2564 - kaleo - > you unto his kingdom <0932 - basileia - > and glory <1391 - doxa - > .
: 13 . For this <5124 - touto - > cause <1223 - dia - > also <2532 - kai - > thank <2168 - eucharisteo - > we God <2316 - theos - > without <0089 - adialeiptos - > ceasing <0089 - adialeiptos - > , because <3754 - hoti - > , when ye received <3880 - paralambano - > the word <3056 - logos - > of God <2316 - theos - > which ye heard <0189 - akoe - > of us , ye received <1209 - dechomai - > [ it ] not [ as ] the word <3056 - logos - > of men <0444 - anthropos - > , but as it is in truth <0230 - alethos - > , the word <3056 - logos - > of God <2316 - theos - > , which <3739 - hos - > effectually <1754 - energeo - > worketh <1754 - energeo - > also <2532 - kai - > in you that believe <4100 - pisteuo - > .
: 14 For ye , brethren <0080 - adephos - > , became <1096 - ginomai - > followers <3402 - mimetes - > of the churches <1577 - ekklesia - > of God <2316 - theos - > which <3588 - ho - > in Judaea <2449 - Ioudaia - > are in Christ <5547 - Christos - > Jesus <2424 - Iesous - > : for ye also <2532 - kai - > have suffered <3958 - pascho - > like <5024 - tauta - > things of your <2398 - idios - > own <2398 - idios - > countrymen <4853 - sumphuletes - > , even <2532 - kai - > as they [ have ] of the Jews <2453 - Ioudaios - > :
: 15 Who <3588 - ho - > both <2532 - kai - > killed <0615 - apokteino - > the Lord <2962 - kurios - > Jesus <2424 - Iesous - > , and their own <2398 - idios - > prophets <4396 - prophetes - > , and have persecuted <1559 - ekdioko - > us ; and they please <0700 - aresko - > not God <2316 - theos - > , and are contrary <1727 - enantios - > to all <3956 - pas - > men <0444 - anthropos - > :
: 16 Forbidding <2967 - koluo - > us to speak <2980 - laleo - > to the Gentiles <1484 - ethnos - > that they might be saved <4982 - sozo - > , to fill <0378 - anapleroo - > up their sins <0266 - hamartia - > alway <0104 - aei - > : for the wrath <3709 - orge - > is come <5348 - phthano - > upon them to the uttermost <5056 - telos - > .
: 17 . But we , brethren <0080 - adephos - > , being taken <0642 - aporphanizo - > from you for a short <5610 - hora - > time <2540 - kairos - > in presence <4383 - prosopon - > , not in heart <2588 - kardia - > , endeavoured <4704 - spoudazo - > the more <4056 - perissoteros - > abundantly <4056 - perissoteros - > to see <1492 - eido - > your <5216 - humon - > face <4383 - prosopon - > with great <4183 - polus - > desire <1939 - epithumia - > .
: 18 Wherefore <1352 - dio - > we would <2309 - thelo - > have come <2064 - erchomai - > unto you , even <3303 - men - > I Paul <3972 - Paulos - > , once <0530 - hapax - > and again <1364 - dis - > ; but Satan <4567 - Satanas - > hindered <1465 - egkopto - > us .
: 19 For what <5101 - tis - > [ is ] our hope <1680 - elpis - > , or <2228 - e - > joy <5479 - chara - > , or <2228 - e - > crown <4735 - stephanos - > of rejoicing <2746 - kauchesis - > ? [ Are ] not even <2532 - kai - > ye in the presence <1715 - emprosthen - > of our Lord <2962 - kurios - > Jesus <2424 - Iesous - > Christ <5547 - Christos - > at <1722 - en - > his coming <3952 - parousia - > ?
: 20 For ye are our glory <1391 - doxa - > and joy <5479 - chara - > .
: 1Thessalonians 3
: 01 . Wherefore <1352 - dio - > when we could no <3371 - meketi - > longer <3371 - meketi - > forbear <4722 - stego - > , we thought <2106 - eudokeo - > it good <2106 - eudokeo - > to be left <2641 - kataleipo - > at <1722 - en - > Athens <0116 - Athenai - > alone <3441 - monos - > ;
: 02 And sent <3992 - pempo - > Timotheus <5095 - Timotheos - > , our brother <0080 - adephos - > , and minister <1249 - diakonos - > of God <2316 - theos - > , and our fellowlabourer <4904 - sunergos - > in the gospel <2098 - euaggelion - > of Christ <5547 - Christos - > , to establish <4741 - sterizo - > you , and to comfort <3870 - parakaleo - > you concerning <4012 - peri - > your <5216 - humon - > faith <4102 - pistis - > :
: 03 That no <3367 - medeis - > man <3367 - medeis - > should be moved <4525 - saino - > by these <5025 - tautais - > afflictions <2347 - thlipsis - > : for yourselves <0846 - autos - > know <1492 - eido - > that we are appointed <2749 - keimai - > thereunto <5124 - touto - > .
: 04 For verily <2532 - kai - > , when <3753 - hote - > we were with you , we told <4302 - prolego - > you before <4302 - prolego - > that we should <3195 - mello - > suffer tribulation <2346 - thlibo - > ; even <2532 - kai - > as it came <1096 - ginomai - > to pass , and ye know <1492 - eido - > .
: 05 For this <5124 - touto - > cause <1223 - dia - > , when I could no <3371 - meketi - > longer <3371 - meketi - > forbear <4722 - stego - > , I sent <0375 - anapempo - > to know <1097 - ginosko - > your <5216 - humon - > faith <4102 - pistis - > , lest <3381 - mepos - > by some <3381 - mepos - > means <4458 - - pos - > the tempter <3985 - peirazo - > have tempted <3985 - peirazo - > you , and our labour <2873 - kopos - > be in vain <2756 - kenos - > .
: 06 . But now <0737 - arti - > when Timotheus <5095 - Timotheos - > came <2064 - erchomai - > from you unto us , and brought <2097 - euaggelizo - > us good <2097 - euaggelizo - > tidings <2097 - euaggelizo - > of your <5216 - humon - > faith <4102 - pistis - > and charity <0026 - agape - > , and that ye have <2192 - echo - > good <0018 - agathos - > remembrance <3417 - mneia - > of us always <3842 - pantote - > , desiring <1971 - epipotheo - > greatly <1971 - epipotheo - > to see <1492 - eido - > us , as we also <2532 - kai - > [ to see ] you :
: 07 Therefore <5124 - touto - > , brethren <0080 - adephos - > , we were comforted <3870 - parakaleo - > over <1909 - epi - > you in all <3956 - pas - > our affliction <2347 - thlipsis - > and distress <0318 - anagke - > by your <5216 - humon - > faith <4102 - pistis - > :
: 08 For now <3568 - nun - > we live <2198 - zao - > , if <1437 - ean - > ye stand <4739 - steko - > fast in the Lord <2962 - kurios - > .
: 09 For what <5101 - tis - > thanks <2169 - eucharistia - > can <1410 - dunamai - > we render <0467 - antapodidomi - > to God <2316 - theos - > again <0467 - antapodidomi - > for you , for all <3956 - pas - > the joy <5479 - chara - > wherewith <3739 - hos - > we joy <5463 - chairo - > for your <5209 - humas - > sakes before <1715 - emprosthen - > our God <2316 - theos - > ;
: 10 Night <3571 - nux - > and day <2250 - hemera - > praying <1189 - deomai - > exceedingly <4053 - perissos - > that we might see <1492 - eido - > your <5216 - humon - > face <4383 - prosopon - > , and might perfect <2675 - katartizo - > that which is lacking <5303 - husterema - > in your <5216 - humon - > faith <4102 - pistis - > ?
: 11 . Now <1161 - de - > God <2316 - theos - > himself <0846 - autos - > and our Father <3962 - pater - > , and our Lord <2962 - kurios - > Jesus <2424 - Iesous - > Christ <5547 - Christos - > , direct <2720 - kateuthuno - > our way <3598 - hodos - > unto you .
: 12 And the Lord <2962 - kurios - > make <4121 - pleonazo - > you to increase <4121 - pleonazo - > and abound <4052 - perisseuo - > in love <0026 - agape - > one <0240 - allelon - > toward <1519 - eis - > another <0240 - allelon - > , and toward <1519 - eis - > all <3956 - pas - > [ men ] , even <2532 - kai - > as we [ do ] toward <1519 - eis - > you :
: 13 To the end <1519 - eis - > he may stablish <4741 - sterizo - > your <5216 - humon - > hearts <2588 - kardia - > unblameable <0299 - amomos - > in holiness <0042 - hagiosune - > before <1715 - emprosthen - > God <2316 - theos - > , even <2532 - kai - > our Father <3962 - pater - > , at <1722 - en - > the coming <3952 - parousia - > of our Lord <2962 - kurios - > Jesus <2424 - Iesous - > Christ <5547 - Christos - > with all <3956 - pas - > his saints <0040 - hagios - > .

: 01 . Furthermore <3063 - loipon - > then <3767 - oun - > we beseech <2065 - erotao - > you , brethren <0080 - adephos - > , and exhort <3870 - parakaleo - > [ you ] by the Lord <2962 - kurios - > Jesus <2424 - Iesous - > , that as ye have received <3880 - paralambano - > of us how <4459 - pos - > ye ought <1163 - dei - > to walk <4043 - peripateo - > and to please <0700 - aresko - > God <2316 - theos - > , [ so ] ye would abound <4052 - perisseuo - > more <3123 - mallon - > and more <3123 - mallon - > .
: 02 For ye know <1492 - eido - > what <5101 - tis - > commandments <3852 - paraggelia - > we gave <1325 - didomi - > you by the Lord <2962 - kurios - > Jesus <2424 - Iesous - > .
: 03 For this <5124 - touto - > is the will <2307 - thelema - > of God <2316 - theos - > , [ even ] your <5216 - humon - > sanctification <0038 - hagiasmos - > , that ye should abstain <0567 - apechomai - > from fornication <4202 - porneia - > :
: 04 That every <1538 - hekastos - > one of you should know <1492 - eido - > how to possess <2932 - ktaomai - > his vessel <4632 - skeuos - > in sanctification <0038 - hagiasmos - > and honour <5092 - time - > ;
: 05 Not in the lust <3806 - pathos - > of concupiscence <1939 - epithumia - > , even <2532 - kai - > as the Gentiles <1484 - ethnos - > which <3588 - ho - > know <1492 - eido - > not God <2316 - theos - > :
: 06 That no <3361 - me - > [ man ] go <5233 - huperbaino - > beyond <5233 - huperbaino - > and defraud <4122 - pleonekteo - > his brother <0080 - adephos - > in [ any ] matter <4229 - pragma - > : because <1360 - dioti - > that the Lord <2962 - kurios - > [ is ] the avenger <1558 - ekdikos - > of all <3956 - pas - > such <5130 - touton - > , as we also <2532 - kai - > have forewarned <4277 - proepo - > you and testified <1263 - diamarturomai - > .
: 07 For God <2316 - theos - > hath not called <2564 - kaleo - > us unto uncleanness <0167 - akatharsia - > , but unto holiness <0038 - hagiasmos - > .
: 08 He therefore <5105 - toigaroun - > that despiseth <0114 - atheteo - > , despiseth <0114 - atheteo - > not man <0444 - anthropos - > , but God <2316 - theos - > , who <3588 - ho - > hath also <2532 - kai - > given <1325 - didomi - > unto us his holy <0040 - hagios - > Spirit <4151 - pneuma - > .
: 09 . But as touching <4012 - peri - > brotherly <5360 - philadelphia - > love <5360 - philadelphia - > ye need <5532 - chreia - > not that I write <1125 - grapho - > unto you : for ye yourselves <0846 - autos - > are taught <2312 - theodidaktos and 2312 theologos - > of God <2312 - theodidaktos and 2312 theologos - > to love <0025 - agapao - > one <0240 - allelon - > another <0240 - allelon - > .
: 10 And indeed <1063 - gar - > ye do <4160 - poieo - > it toward <1519 - eis - > all <3956 - pas - > the brethren <0080 - adephos - > which <3588 - ho - > are in all <3650 - holos - > Macedonia <3109 - Makedonia - > : but we beseech <3870 - parakaleo - > you , brethren <0080 - adephos - > , that ye increase <4052 - perisseuo - > more <3123 - mallon - > and more <3123 - mallon - > ;
