Chapter 2

    

2:1 You yourselves know, brothers, that our visit to you was not in vain.

X 1st Thessalonians

2:2 But even after we had previously suffered and were shamefully treated at Philippi, as you know, we were bold in our Elohim to declare to you the gospel of Elohim amid much opposition.

X 1st Thessalonians

2:3 For our exhortation was not from deceit, nor from uncleanness, nor in guile.

X 1st Thessalonians

2:4 But as we were allowed by Elohim to be entrusted with the gospel, even so we speak, not to please men, but Elohim, who examines our hearts.

X 1st Thessalonians

2:5 For neither at any time did we come with flattering words, as you know, nor with a pretext for greed. Elohim is our witness.

X 1st Thessalonians

2:6 Nor did we seek glory from men, either from you, or from others, even though we might have made demands as the apostles of the Messiah.

X 1st Thessalonians

2:7 But we were gentle among you, like a nurse caring for her own children.

X 1st Thessalonians

2:8 So having great love toward you, we were willing to impart to you not only the gospel of Elohim but also our own lives, because you were dear to us.

X 1st Thessalonians

2:9 For you remember, brothers, our labor and toil. Laboring night and day so as not to be an expense to any of you, we preached to you the gospel of Elohim.

X 1st Thessalonians

2:10 You and Elohim are witnesses of how pure, upright, and blameless we ourselves behaved among you who believe.

X 1st Thessalonians

2:11 As you know, we exhorted, comforted, and commanded every one of you, as a father does his own children,

X 1st Thessalonians

2:12 that you would walk in a manner worthy of Elohim, who has called you to His kingdom and glory.

X 1st Thessalonians

2:13 For this reason we thank Elohim without ceasing because, when you received the word of Elohim, which you heard from us, you received it not as the word of men, but as it truly is, the word of Elohim, which effectively works also in you who believe.

X 1st Thessalonians

2:14 For you, brothers, became followers of the Assemblies of Elohim, which in Judea are in the Messiah YASHUWAH. You also have suffered the same things from your own countrymen, as they have from the Jews,

X 1st Thessalonians

2:15 who both killed the Master YASHUWAH and their own prophets and have persecuted us. They do not please Elohim and are contrary to all men,

X 1st Thessalonians

2:16 forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved. In this way they are always piling up their sins, but wrath has come upon them to the extreme.

X 1st Thessalonians

2:17 But we, brothers, being taken from you for a short time, in presence, not in heart, endeavored all the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.

X 1st Thessalonians

2:18 Therefore we wished to come to you ~ even I, Paul, once and again ~ but Satan hindered us.

X 1st Thessalonians

2:19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Will it not even be you in the presence of our Master YASHUWAH the Messiah at His coming?

X 1st Thessalonians

2:20 You are our glory and joy.
