The .ij. Chapter.
He puttethe them in remembraunce of the godlye
conuersacyon, that he led amonge them, when he
preached the Gospel vnto them, thanketh God, that
they receyue hys worde so frutefullye, and excuseth
hys absence.
A noteFor ye youre selues knowe brethren
of oure entraunce in vnto
you, how þt; it was not in vaine:
but euen after that we had suffred
before, and were shamefullye
entreated at Philippos (as ye wel know)
then were we bolde in our God to speake vnto
you the Gospel of God wyth muche stryuynge.
Oure exhortacyon was not to bringe
you to erroure, nor yet to vncl&ebar;nes, neyther
was it wyth gile, but as we were allowed of
God, that the Gospel shoulde be committed
vnto vs, euen so we spake, not as though we
entended to please men, but God whyche
tryeth oure hertes.
B &rhand; Neither was our conuersacyon at anye
tyme wyth flatterynge wordes, as ye well
-- --
knowe neyther in cloked couetousnes, god is
record: neyther sought we prayse of men neyther
of you, nor yet of anye other, when we
mighte haue bene chargeable, as the Apostles
of Christe, but we were tender amonge
you, euen as a noursse cheryshed his children,
so was our affeccion toward you, oure good
wil was to haue dealte to you, not the Gospel
of God onely, but also our owne soules
because ye were deare to vs. &cross2; noteYe remember
brethren our labour and trauayle. For we laboured
day and night, because we would not
be greuous vnto any of you, and preached vnto
you the Gospel of God. noteYe are wytnesses,
and so is God, howe holily and iustlye and
vnblameably we behaued our selues among
you that beleue as ye know howe that we exhorted
and comforted, and besoughte euerye
one of you, as a father hys chyldren, that ye
woulde walke worthye of God, whiche hath
called you vnto his kingdome ∧ glory.
C &rhand; For thys cause thanke we God wythout
ceasyng, because that when ye receiued of vs
the word, wher with God was preached, ye
receiued it not as the worde of man: but euen
as it was in dede, the worde of God: whiche
worketh in you that beleue. &cross3;
For ye brethren became folowers of the c&obar;gregacions
of God, which in Iewrye are in
Christ Iesu, for ye haue suffred lyke thinges
of your kinsmen, as we our selues haue suffred
of the Iewes. Which as they kylled the
Lorde Iesus and theyr owne prophetes, euen
so haue they persecuted vs, and God they
please not, and are contrarye to all men, and
forbid vs to preache vnto the Gentyls, that
they might be saued to fulfyll theyr synnes
alwaye. For the wrathe of God is come on
them, euen to the vtmost.
D &rhand; For as muche brethren as we are kepte
from you for a season as concernynge the bodely
presence, but not in the herte we enforsed
the more to se you personallye wyth greate
desyre. And therfore we woulde haue come
vnto you I Paule ones and agayne: but Sathan
withstode vs. For what is oure hope or
ioye, or crowne of reioysynge: are not ye it in
the presence of our Lord Iesus Christ at hys
coming? yes ye are our glory and ioye.
