1 Thessalonians 2

DOUAI-RHEIMS	GREEK BIBLE
1 For yourselves know, brethren, our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain:	1 Διοτι σεις εξευρετε, αδελφοι, την προς εσας εισοδον ημων, οτι δεν εγεινε ματαια,
2 But having suffered many things before, and been shamefully treated (as you know) at Philippi, we had confidence in our God, to speak unto you the gospel of God in much carefulness.	2 αλλα και προπαθοντες και υβρισθεντες, καθως εξευρετε, εν Φιλιπποις, ελαβομεν θαρρος εις τον Θεον ημων να λαλησωμεν προς εσας το ευαγγελιον του Θεου με πολυν αγωνα.
3 For our exhortation was not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in deceit:	3 Διοτι η προτροπη ημων δεν ητο εκ πλανης ουδε εξ ακαθαρσιας ουτε μετα δολου?
4 But as we were approved by God that the gospel should be committed to us: even so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God, who proveth our hearts.	4 αλλα καθως εδοκιμασθημεν υπο του Θεου δια να εμπιστευθωμεν το ευαγγελιον, ουτω λαλουμεν, ουχι ως αρεσκοντες εις ανθρωπους, αλλ' εις τον Θεον τον δοκιμαζοντα τας καρδιας ημων.
5 For neither have we used, at any time, the speech of flattery, as you know; nor taken an occasion of covetousness, God is witness:	5 Διοτι ουτε λογον κολακειας μετεχειρισθημεν ποτε, καθως εξευρετε, ουτε προφασιν πλεονεξιας, μαρτυς ο Θεος,
6 Nor sought we glory of men, neither of you, nor of others. 7 Whereas we might have been burdensome to you, as the apostles of Christ: but we became little ones in the midst of you, as if a nurse should cherish her children:	6 ουτε εζητησαμεν δοξαν εξ ανθρωπων, ουτε αφ' υμων ουτε απ' αλλων
7 dummy verses inserted by amos	7 καιτοι δυναμενοι να διδωμεν βαρος ως αποστολοι του Χριστου, αλλ' εσταθημεν γλυκεις εν τω μεσω υμων, καθως η τροφος περιθαλπει τα εαυτης τεκνα?
8 So desirous of you, we would gladly impart unto you not only the gospel of God, but also our own souls: because you were become most dear unto us.	8 ουτως εχοντες ενθερμον αγαπην προς εσας, ευχαριστουμεθα να μεταδωσωμεν ουχι μονον το ευαγγελιον του Θεου αλλα και τας ψυχας ημων, επειδη εσταθητε αγαπητοι εις ημας.
9 For you remember, brethren, our labour and toil: working night and day, lest we should be chargeable to any of you, we preached among you the gospel of God.	9 Διοτι ενθυμεισθε, αδελφοι, τον κοπον ημων και τον μοχθον? επειδη νυκτα και ημεραν εργαζομενοι, δια να μη επιβαρυνωμεν τινα εξ υμων, εκηρυξαμεν εις εσας το ευαγγελιον του Θεου.
10 You are witnesses, and God also, how holily, and justly, and without blame, we have been to you that have believed:	10 Σεις εισθε μαρτυρες και ο Θεος οτι οσιως και δικαιως και αμεμπτως εφερθημεν προς εσας τους πιστευοντας,
11 As you know in what manner, entreating and comforting you, (as a father doth his children,)	11 καθως εξευρετε οτι ενα εκαστον υμων, ως πατηρ τα εαυτου τεκνα,
12 We testified to every one of you, that you would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.	12 σας προετρεπομεν και παρηγορουμεν και διεμαρτυρομεθα, δια να περιπατησητε αξιως του Θεου του προσκαλουντος υμας εις την εαυτου βασιλειαν και δοξαν.
13 Therefore, we also give thanks to God without ceasing: because, that when you had received of us the word of the hearing of God, you received it not as the word of men, but (as it is indeed) the word of God, who worketh in you that have believed.	13 Δια τουτο και ημεις ευχαριστουμεν τον Θεον αδιαλειπτως, οτι παραλαβοντες τον λογον του Θεου, τον οποιον ηκουσατε παρ' ημων, εδεχθητε αυτον ουχι ως λογον ανθρωπων, αλλα καθως ειναι αληθως, λογον Θεου, οστις και ενεργειται μεταξυ υμων των πιστευοντων.
14 For you, brethren, are become followers of the churches of God which are in Judea, in Christ Jesus: for you also have suffered the same things from your own coutrymen, even as they have from the Jews,	14 Διοτι σεις εγεινετε, αδελφοι, μιμηται των εκκλησιων του Θεου, αιτινες ειναι εν τη Ιουδαια εν Χριστω Ιησου, επειδη και σεις επαθετε τα αυτα υπο των ιδιων υμων ομοεθνων, καθως και αυτοι υπο των Ιουδαιων,
15 Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and the prophets, and have persecuted us, and please not God, and are adversaries to all men;	15 οιτινες και τον Κυριον Ιησουν εθανατωσαν και τους ιδιους αυτων προφητας, και ημας εξεδιωξαν, και εις τον Θεον δεν αρεσκουσι, και εις παντας τους ανθρωπους ειναι εναντιοι,
16 Prohibiting us to speak to the Gentiles, that they may be saved, to fill up their sins always: for the wrath of God is come upon them to the end.	16 εμποδιζοντες ημας να λαλησωμεν προς τα εθνη δια να σωθωσι, δια να αναπληρωσωσι τας αμαρτιας εαυτων παντοτε. Εφθασε δε επ' αυτους η οργη μεχρι τελους.
17 But we, brethren, being taken away from you for a short time, in sight, not in heart, have hastened the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.	17 Αλλ' ημεις, αδελφοι, ορφανισθεντες αφ' υμων προς ολιγον καιρον, προσωπικως ουχι κατα την καρδιαν, εσπουδασαμεν περισσοτερον μετα πολλης επιθυμιας να ιδωμεν το προσωπον σας.
18 For we would have come unto you, I Paul indeed, once and again: but Satan hath hindered us.	18 Δια τουτο ηθελησαμεν να ελθωμεν προς εσας, εγω μαλιστα ο Παυλος, και απαξ και δις, και ημποδισεν ημας ο Σατανας.
19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of glory? Are not you, in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?	19 Διοτι τις η ελπις ημων η η χαρα η ο στεφανος της καυχησεως; η ουχι και σεις εμπροσθεν του Κυριου ημων Ιησου Χριστου εν τη παρουσια αυτου;
20 For you are our glory and joy.	20 Διοτι σεις εισθε η δοξα ημων και η χαρα.
