1 Thessalonians 2

KING JAMES BIBLE	VULGATA
1 For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain:	1 Nam ipsi scitis, fratres, introitum nostrum ad vos, quia non inanis fuit :
2 But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention.	2 sed ante passi, et contumeliis affecti (sicut scitis) in Philippis, fiduciam habuimus in Deo nostro, loqui ad vos Evangelium Dei in multa sollicitudine.
3 For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:	3 Exhortatio enim nostra non de errore, neque de immunditia, neque in dolo,
4 But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.	4 sed sicut probati sumus a Deo ut crederetur nobis Evangelium : ita loquimur non quasi hominibus placentes, sed Deo, qui probat corda nostra.
5 For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness:	5 Neque enim aliquando fuimus in sermone adulationis, sicut scitis : neque in occasione avaritiæ : Deus testis est :
6 Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.	6 nec quærentes ab hominibus gloriam, neque a vobis, neque ab aliis.
7 But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children:	7 Cum possemus vobis oneri esse ut Christi apostoli : sed facti sumus parvuli in medio vestrum, tamquam si nutrix foveat filios suos.
8 So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us.	8 Ita desiderantes vos, cupide volebamus tradere vobis non solum Evangelium Dei, sed etiam animas nostras : quoniam carissimi nobis facti estis.
9 For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for labouring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.	9 Memores enim estis, fratres, laboris nostri, et fatigationis : nocte ac die operantes, ne quem vestrum gravaremus, prædicavimus in vobis Evangelium Dei.
10 Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:	10 Vos testes estis, et Deus, quam sancte, et juste, et sine querela, vobis, qui credidistis, fuimus :
11 As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father doth his children,	11 sicut scitis, qualiter unumquemque vestrum (sicut pater filios suos)
12 That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.	12 deprecantes vos, et consolantes, testificati sumus, ut ambularetis digne Deo, qui vocavit vos in suum regnum et gloriam.
13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.	13 Ideo et nos gratias agimus Deo sine intermissione : quoniam cum accepissetis a nobis verbum auditus Dei, accepistis illud, non ut verbum hominum, sed (sicut est vere) verbum Dei, qui operatur in vobis, qui credidistis :
14 For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews:	14 vos enim imitatores facti estis, fratres, ecclesiarum Dei, quæ sunt in Judæa in Christo Jesu : quia eadem passi estis et vos a contribulibus vestris, sicut et ipsi a Judæis :
15 Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:	15 qui et Dominum occiderunt Jesum, et prophetas, et nos persecuti sunt, et Deo non placent, et omnibus hominibus adversantur,
16 Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.	16 prohibentes nos gentibus loqui ut salvæ fiant, ut impleant peccata sua semper : pervenit enim ira Dei super illos usque in finem.
17 But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavoured the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.	17 Nos autem fratres desolati a vobis ad tempus horæ, aspectu, non corde, abundantius festinavimus faciem vestram videre cum multo desiderio :
18 Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us.	18 quoniam voluimus venire ad vos, ego quidem Paulus, et semel, et iterum : sed impedivit nos Satanas.
19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?	19 Quæ est enim nostra spes aut gaudium, aut corona gloriæ ? nonne vos ante Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum estis in adventu ejus ?
20 For ye are our glory and joy.	20 vos enim estis gloria nostra et gaudium.
