1 Thessalonians 3

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 Because of this, willing to wait no longer, it was pleasing to us to remain at Athens, alone.	1 Δια τουτο μη υποφεροντες πλεον, εκριναμεν ευλογον να απομεινωμεν μονοι εν Αθηναις,
2 And we sent Timothy, our brother and a minister of God in the Gospel of Christ, to confirm you and to exhort you, on behalf of your faith,	2 και επεμψαμεν Τιμοθεον, τον αδελφον ημων και διακονον του Θεου και συνεργον ημων εις το ευαγγελιον του Χριστου, δια να σας στηριξη και να σας παρηγορηση περι της πιστεως σας,
3 so that no one would be disturbed during these tribulations. For you yourselves know that we have been appointed to this.	3 δια να μη κλονιζηται μηδεις εν ταις θλιψεσι ταυταις. Διοτι σεις εξευρετε οτι εις τουτο ειμεθα τεταγμενοι?
4 For even while we were with you, we predicted to you that we would suffer tribulations, even as it has happened, and as you know.	4 διοτι οτε ημεθα παρ' υμιν, προελεγομεν προς εσας οτι μελλομεν να υποφερωμεν θλιψεις, καθως και εγεινε και εξευρετε.
5 For this reason also, I was not willing to wait any longer, and I sent to find out about your faith, lest perhaps he who tempts may have tempted you, and our labor might have been in vain.	5 Δια τουτο και εγω μη υποφερων πλεον επεμψα δια να μαθω την πιστιν σας, μηπως σας επειρασεν ο πειραζων και αποβη εις ματην ο κοπος ημων.
6 But then, when Timothy arrived to us from you, he reported to us your faith and charity, and that you keep a good remembrance of us always, desiring to see us, just as we likewise desire to see you.	6 Ηδη δε οτε ηλθεν ο Τιμοθεος απο σας προς ημας και εφερε προς ημας καλας αγγελιας περι της πιστεως και της αγαπης σας, και οτι εχετε παντοτε αγαθην ενθυμησιν ημων, επιποθουντες να ιδητε ημας καθως και ημεις εσας,
7 As a result, we were consoled in you, brothers, in the midst of all our difficulties and tribulations, through your faith.	7 δια τουτο παρηγορηθημεν, αδελφοι, δια σας εν ολη τη θλιψει και στενοχωρια ημων δια της πιστεως σας?
8 For we now live so that you may stand firm in the Lord.	8 διοτι τωρα ζωμεν, εαν σεις μενητε σταθεροι εις τον Κυριον.
9 For what thanks would we be able to repay to God because of you, for all the joy with which we rejoice over you before our God?	9 Επειδη τινα ευχαριστιαν δυναμεθα να ανταποδωσωμεν εις τον Θεον δια σας δι' ολην την χαραν, την οποιαν χαιρομεν δια σας εμπροσθεν του Θεου ημων,
10 For night and day, ever more abundantly, we are praying that we may see your face, and that we may complete those things that are lacking in your faith.	10 νυκτα και ημεραν δεομενοι καθ' υπερβολην να ιδωμεν το προσωπον σας και να αναπληρωσωμεν τας ελλειψεις της πιστεως σας;
11 But may God our Father himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you.	11 Αυτος δε ο Θεος και Πατηρ ημων και ο Κυριος ημων Ιησους Χριστος ειθε να κατευθυνη την οδον ημων προς εσας?
12 And may the Lord multiply you, and make you abound in your charity toward one another and toward all, just as we also do toward you,	12 εσας δε ο Κυριος να αυξηση και να περισσευση εις την αγαπην προς αλληλους και προς παντας, καθως και ημεις περισσευομεν προς εσας,
13 in order to confirm your hearts without blame, in sanctity, before God our Father, unto the return of our Lord Jesus Christ, with all his saints. Amen.	13 δια να στηριξη τας καρδιας σας αμεμπτους εις την αγιωσυνην εμπροσθεν του Θεου και Πατρος ημων εν τη παρουσια του Κυριου ημων Ιησου Χριστου μετα παντων των αγιων αυτου.
