as ye<br> + know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.</p> + +<p>52:001:006 And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having<br> + received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy<br> + Ghost.</p> + +<p>52:001:007 So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and<br> + Achaia.</p> + +<p>52:001:008 For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in<br> + Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to<br> + God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any<br> + thing.</p> + +<p>52:001:009 For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we<br> + had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the<br> + living and true God;</p> + +<p>52:001:010 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the<br> + dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.</p> + +<p>52:002:001 For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto you, that<br> + it was not in vain:</p> + +<p>52:002:002 But even after that we had suffered before, and were<br> + shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in<br> + our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much<br> + contention.</p> + +<p>52:002:003 For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor<br> + in guile:</p> + +<p>52:002:004 But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the<br> + gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which<br> + trieth our hearts.</p> + +<p>52:002:005 For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know,<br> + nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness:</p> + +<p>52:002:006 Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others,<br> + when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.</p> + +<p>52:002:007 But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her<br> + children:</p> + +<p>52:002:008 So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to<br> + have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also<br> + our own souls, because ye were dear unto us.</p> + +<p>52:002:009 For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for<br> + labouring night and day, because we would not be chargeable<br> + unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.</p> + +<p>52:002:010 Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and<br> + unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:</p> + +<p>52:002:011 As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one<br> + of you, as a father doth his children,</p> + +<p>52:002:012 That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his<br> + kingdom and glory.</p> + +<p>52:002:013 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because,<br> + when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye<br> + received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the<br> + word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that<br> + believe.</p> + +<p>52:002:014 For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God<br> + which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered<br> + like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the<br> + Jews:</p> + +<p>52:002:015 Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and<br> + have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary<br> + to all men:</p> + +<p>52:002:016 Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be<br> + saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon<br> + them to the uttermost.</p> + +<p>52:002:017 But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in<br> + presence, not in heart, endeavoured the more abundantly to see<br> + your face with great desire.</p> + +<p>52:002:018 Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and<br> + again; but Satan hindered us.</p> + +<p>52:002:019 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not<br> + even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his<br> + coming?</p> + +<p>52:002:020 For ye are our glory and joy.</p> + +<p>52:003:001 Wherefore when we could no longer forbear, we thought it good<br> + to be left at Athens alone;</p> + +<p>52:003:002 And sent Timotheus, our brother, and minister of God, and our<br> + fellowlabourer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and<br> + to comfort you concerning your faith:</p> + +<p>52:003:003 That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for<br> + yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto.</p> + +<p>52:003:004 For verily, when we were with you, we told you before that we<br> + should suffer tribulation; even as it came to pass, and ye<br> + know.</p> + +<p>52:003:005 For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know<br> + your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you,<br> + and our labour be in vain.</p> + +<p>52:003:006 But now when Timotheus came from you unto us, and brought us<br> + good tidings of your faith and charity, and that ye have good<br> + remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we<br> + also to see you:</p> + +<p>52:003:007 Therefore, brethren, we were comforted over you in all our<br> + affliction and distress by your faith:</p> + +<p>52:003:008 For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord.</p> + +<p>52:003:009 For what thanks can we render to God again for you, for all<br> + the joy wherewith we joy for your sakes before our God;</p> + +<p>52:003:010 Night and day praying exceedingly that we might see your face,<br> + and might perfect that which is lacking in your faith?</p> + +<p>52:003:011 Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ,<br> + direct our way unto you.</p> + +<p>52:003:012 And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one<br> + toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you:</p> + +<p>52:003:013 To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness<br> + before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus<br> + Christ with all his saints.</p> + +<p>52:004:001 Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by<br> + the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to<br> + walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.</p> + +<p>52:004:002 For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.</p> + +<p>52:004:003 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye<br> + should abstain from fornication:</p> + +<p>52:004:004 That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in<br> + sanctification and honour;</p> + +<p>52:004:005 Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which<br> + know not God:</p> + +<p>52:004:006 That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter:<br> + because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also<br> + have forewarned you and testified.</p> + +<p>52:004:007 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto<br> + holiness.</p> + +<p>52:004:008 He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who<br> + hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.</p> + +<p>52:004:009 But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto<br> + you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.</p> + +<p>52:004:010 And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren which are in all<br> + Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more<br> + and more;</p> + +<p>52:004:011 And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business,<br> + and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;</p> + +<p>52:004:012 That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and<br> + that ye may have lack of nothing.</p> + +<p>52:004:013 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning<br> + them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others<br> + which have no hope.</p> + +<p>52:004:014 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them<br> + also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.</p> + +<p>52:004:015 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we<br> + which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall<br> + not prevent them which are asleep.</p> + +<p>52:004:016 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout,<br> + with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God:<br> + and the dead in Christ shall rise first:</p> + +<p>52:004:017 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together<br> + with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so<br> + shall we ever be with the Lord.</p> + +<p>52:004:018 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.</p> + +<p>52:005:001 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need<br> + that I write unto you.</p> + +<p>52:005:002 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so<br> + cometh as a thief in the night.</p> + +<p>52:005:003 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden<br> + destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with<br> + child; and they shall not escape.</p> + +<p>52:005:004 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should<br> + overtake you as a thief.</p> + +<p>52:005:005 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day:<br> + we are not of the night, nor of darkness.</p> + +<p>52:005:006 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and<br> + be sober.</p> + +<p>52:005:007 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be<br> + drunken are drunken in the night.</p> + +<p>52:005:008 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the<br> + breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of<br> + salvation.</p> + +<p>52:005:009 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain<br> + salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,</p> + +<p>52:005:010 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should<br> + live together with him.</p> + +<p>52:005:011 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another,<br> + even as also ye do.</p> + +<p>52:005:012 And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among<br> + you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;</p> + +<p>52:005:013 And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake.<br> + And be at peace among yourselves.</p> + +<p>52:005:014 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly,<br> + comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward<br> + all men.</p> + +<p>52:005:015 See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever<br> + follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all<br> + men.</p> + +<p>52:005:016 Rejoice evermore.</p> + +<p>52:005:017 Pray without ceasing.</p> + +<p>52:005:018 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in<br> + Christ Jesus concerning you.</p> + +<p>52:005:019 Quench not the Spirit.</p> + +<p>52:005:020 Despise not prophesyings.</p> + +<p>52:005:021 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.</p> + +<p>52:005:022 Abstain from all appearance of evil.</p> + +<p>52:005:023 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God<br> + your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless<br> + unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.</p> + +<p>52:005:024 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.</p> + +<p>52:005:025 Brethren, pray for us.</p> + +<p>52:005:026 Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss.</p> + +<p>52:005:027 I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all<br> + the holy brethren.</p> + +<p>52:005:028 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
