King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. For[G1063] yourselves,[G846] brethren,[G80] know[G1492] our[G2257] entrance in[G1529] unto[G4314] you,[G5209] that[G3754] it was[G1096] not[G3756] in vain: [G2756]

2. But[G235] even[G2532] after that we had suffered before,[G4310] and[G2532] were shamefully entreated,[G5195] as[G2531] ye know,[G1492] at[G1722] Philippi,[G5375] we were bold[G3955] in[G1722] our[G2257] God[G2316] to speak[G2980] unto[G4314] you[G5209] the[G3588] gospel[G2098] of God[G2316] with[G1722] much[G4183] contention.[G73]

3. For[G1063] our[G2257] exhortation[G3874] was not[G3756] of[G1537] deceit,[G4106] nor[G3761] of[G1537] uncleanness,[G167] nor[G3777] in[G1722] guile: [G1388]

4. But[G235] as[G2531] we were allowed[G1381] of[G5259] God[G2316] to be put in trust[G4100] with the[G3588] gospel,[G2098] even so[G3779] we speak;[G2980] not[G3756] as[G5613] pleasing[G700] men,[G444] but[G235] God,[G2316] which trieth[G1381] our[G2257] hearts.[G2588]

5. For[G1063] neither[G3777] at any time[G4218] used we flattering words,[G1096] [G1722] [G3056] [G2850] as[G2531] ye know,[G1492] nor[G3777] a cloak[G4392] of covetousness;[G4124] God[G2316] is witness: [G3144]

6. Nor[G3777] of[G1537] men[G444] sought[G2212] we glory,[G1391] neither[G3777] of[G575] you,[G5216] nor[G3777] yet of[G575] others,[G243] when we might[G1410] have been[G1511] burdensome,[G1722] [G922] as[G5613] the apostles[G652] of Christ.[G5547]

7. But[G235] we were[G1096] gentle[G2261] among[G1722] [G3319] you,[G5216] even as[G5613] [G302] a nurse[G5162] cherisheth[G2282] her[G1438] children: [G5043]

8. So[G3779] being affectionately desirous[G2442] of you,[G5216] we were willing[G2106] to have imparted[G3330] unto you,[G5213] not[G3756] the[G3588] gospel[G2098] of God[G2316] only,[G3440] but[G235] also[G2532] our own[G1438] souls,[G5590] because[G1360] ye were[G1096] dear[G27] unto us.[G2254]

9. For[G1063] ye remember,[G3421] brethren,[G80] our[G2257] labor[G2873] and[G2532] travail:[G3449] for[G1063] laboring[G2038] night[G3571] and[G2532] day,[G2250] because we would not[G3361] be chargable[G1912] unto any[G5100] of you,[G5216] we preached[G2784] unto[G1519] you[G5209] the[G3588] gospel[G2098] of God.[G2316]

10. Ye[G5210] are witnesses,[G3144] and[G2532] God[G2316] also, how[G5613] holily[G3743] and[G2532] justly[G1346] and[G2532] unblamably[G274] we behaved ourselves[G1096] among you[G5213] that believe: [G4100]

11. As[G2509] ye know[G1492] how[G5613] we exhorted[G3870] [G5209] and[G2532] comforted[G3888] and[G2532] charged[G3140] every[G1538] one[G1520] of you,[G5216] as[G5613] a father[G3962] doth his[G1438] children,[G5043]

12. That ye[G5209] would walk[G4043] worthy[G516] of God,[G2316] who hath called[G2564] you[G5209] unto[G1519] his[G1438] kingdom[G932] and[G2532] glory.[G1391]

13. For this cause[G1223] [G5124] also[G2532] thank[G2168] we[G2249] God[G2316] without ceasing,[G89] because,[G3754] when ye received[G3880] the word[G3056] of God[G2316] which ye heard[G189] of[G3844] us,[G2257] ye received[G1209] it not[G3756] as the word[G3056] of men,[G444] but[G235] as[G2531] it is[G2076] in truth,[G230] the word[G3056] of God,[G2316] which[G3739] effectually worketh[G1754] also[G2532] in[G1722] you[G5213] that believe.[G4100]

14. For[G1063] ye,[G5210] brethren,[G80] became[G1096] followers[G3402] of the[G3588] churches[G1577] of God[G2316] which in[G1722] Judea[G2449] are[G5607] in[G1722] Christ[G5547] Jesus:[G2424] for[G3754] ye[G5210] also[G2532] have suffered[G3958] like things[G5024] of[G5259] your own[G2398] countrymen,[G4853] even as[G2531] they[G846] have[G2532] of[G5259] the[G3588] Jews: [G2453]

15. Who both killed[G615] [G2532] the[G3588] Lord[G2962] Jesus,[G2424] and[G2532] their own[G2398] prophets,[G4396] and[G2532] have persecuted[G1559] us;[G2248] and[G2532] they please[G700] not[G3361] God,[G2316] and[G2532] are contrary[G1727] to all[G3956] men: [G444]

16. Forbidding[G2967] us[G2248] to speak[G2980] to the[G3588] Gentiles[G1484] that[G2443] they might be saved,[G4982] to fill up[G378] their[G848] sins[G266] always:[G3842] for[G1161] the[G3588] wrath[G3709] is come[G5348] upon[G1909] them[G846] to[G1519] the uttermost.[G5056]

17. But[G1161] we,[G2249] brethren,[G80] being taken[G642] from[G575] you[G5216] for[G4314] a short time[G5610] [G2540] in presence,[G4383] not[G3756] in heart,[G2588] endeavored[G4704] the more abundantly[G4056] to see[G1492] your[G5216] face[G4383] with[G1722] great[G4183] desire.[G1939]

18. Wherefore[G1352] we would[G2309] have come[G2064] unto[G4314] you,[G5209] even[G3303] I[G1473] Paul,[G3972] [G2532] once and again;[G530] [G2532] [G1364] but[G2532] Satan[G4567] hindered[G1465] us.[G2248]

19. For[G1063] what[G5101] is our[G2257] hope,[G1680] or[G2228] joy,[G5479] or[G2228] crown[G4735] of rejoicing?[G2746] Are[G2228] not[G3780] even[G2532] ye[G5210] in the presence[G1715] of our[G2257] Lord[G2962] Jesus[G2424] Christ[G5547] at[G1722] his[G846] coming?[G3952]

20. For[G1063] ye[G5210] are[G2075] our[G2257] glory[G1391] and[G2532] joy.[G5479]
