¶ The .ii. Chapter.
¶ He putteth them in mynde of the godly conuersacyon
that he led am&obar;ge them when he preached
the Gospell vnto them) thanketh God that they
receaue hys worde so frutefully, and excuseth hys
absence.
A For ye youre selues( note brethr&ebar;)
knowe of oure entra&ubar;ce
in vnto you, how that it
was not in vayne: but euen
after that we had suffred before,
and were note shamfully
entreated at Phillipos (as
ye knowe) then were we bolde in oure God,
to speake vnto you the Gospell of God, in
note moch stryuynge. For oure exhortacyon
was not to brynge you to erroure, nor yet
to vnclennes, nether was it wyth gyle: but
as we were alowed of God, that the Gospell
sholde be commytted vnto vs: euen so
we speake, not as they that note please m&ebar;, but
God, whych tryeth oure hertes.
B Nether led we oure c&obar;uersacyon at eny tyme
with flatterynge wordes, as ye knowe:
nether by occasyon of coueteousnes. noteGod
is recorde: nether sought we prayse of men
nether of you, nor yet of eny other, when we
myght haue bene &ibar; auctorite, as þe; Apostles
of Christ, but we were tender amonge you,
euen as a norsse cheryssheth her chyldren, so
were we affeccyoned towarde you: our good
wyll was to haue dealte vnto you,
C not the
Gospell of God onely: but also oure awne
soules, because ye were deare vnto vs.
-- --
&cross2; Ye remember brethren oure laboure, and
trauayle. noteFor we laboured daye ∧ nyght
because we wolde not be chargeable vnto
eny of you, and preached vnto you the Gospell
of God. Ye are witnesses, and so is God
how holyly ∧ iustly ∧ vnblameably we behaued
oure selues am&obar;ge you that beleued,
as ye knowe, how that we bare soch affeccyon
vnto euery one of you, as a father doth
vnto chyldren, exhortynge, confortyng, and
besechyng you, that ye wolde walke worthy
of God, whych hath called you vnto his
kyngdome and glorye.
For this cause th&abar;ke we God also without
ceassyng, because þt; when ye receaued of vs þe;
worde (wherwith ye learned to know God)
ye receaued it not as the worde of man: but
euen as it was in dede, the worde of God,
whych worketh also in you that beleue. &cross3;
For ye brethren became folowers of the cogregacyons
of God whych in Iewry are in
D
Christ Iesu: for ye haue suffred lyke thynges
of youre kynsmen, as we oure selues haue
suffered of þe; Iewes. Whych as they kylled
the Lorde Iesus, and theyr awne Prophetes,
euen so haue they persecuted vs: and
God they please not, and are contrary to al
men, ∧ hynder vs, that we shuld not speake
vnto the Gentyls, that they myght be saued,
to fulfyll their synnes alwaye. For note þe;
wrath of God is come on them, euen to the
vtmost.
For as moch brethren as we are kept fr&obar;
you for a season, as concernynge the bodyly
presence (but not in the herte) we enforsed þe;
more to se you personally with great desyre.
And therfore we wold haue come vnto
you, I Paul once and agayne: note but Satan
withstode vs: for what is oure hope of ioye
or crowne of reioysing? note are not ye it in the
presence of our Lord Iesus Christ at his c&obar;mynge?
yes, ye are oure glory and ioye.
