Chap. II. He calleth euen them selues to vvitnes, that his preaching vnto them vvas as he said, in most commendable maner. 13 And againe on the other side he thanketh God for their maner of receiuing it: that is, vvith al ioy, notvvithstanding the persecution of their ovvne citizens.

1   For your selues knovv, brethren, our entrance vnto you, that it vvas not vaine:

2   but note hauing suffered before and note been abused vvith contumelies (as you knovv) at Philippi, vve had confidence in our God, to speake vnto you the Gospel of God in much carefulnes.

3   For our exhortation vvas not of errour, nor of vncleannesse, nor in deceite:

4   but as vve vvere approued of God that the Gospel should be committed to vs, so vve speake: not as pleasing men, but God, vvho proueth our hartes.

5   For neither haue we been at any time in the vvord of adulation, as you knovv: nor in occasion of auarice, God is vvitnes:

6   nor seeking glorie of men, neither of you, nor of others.

7   Vvhereas vve might haue been a burd&ebar; to you, as the Apostles of Christ: but vve became note children in the middes of you, as if a nource should cherish her children:

8   so hauing a desire to you, vve would gladly deliuer vnto you not only the Gospel of God, but also our ovvne soules: because you are become most deere vnto vs.

9   For you are mindeful, brethren, of note our labour and toile. day & night vvorking, lest vve should charge any of you, vve preached among you the Gospel of God.

10   You

-- --

are vvitnesses and God, hovv holily and iustly and vvithout blame, vve haue been to you that did beleeue.

11   as you knovv in vvhat maner we desiring and comforting you, haue adiured euery one of you (as a father his children) that you vvould vvalke vvorthie of God, vvho hath called you into his kingdom and glorie.

12   Therfore vve also giue thankes to God vvithout intermission: because that vvhen you had receiued of vs the vvord of the hearing of God, you receiued it not as the vvord of men, but (as it is in deede)09Q1255 the vvord of God, who vvorketh in you that haue beleeued.

13   For you, brethren, are become folovvers of the churches of God that be in Iewrie, in Christ Iesvs: for you also haue suffered the same things of your ovvne lineage, as they also of the Ievves,

14   vvho both killed our Lord Iesvs, and the Prophets, and haue persecuted vs, and please not God, and are aduersaries to al men,

15   prohibiting vs to speake to the Gentiles that they may be saued, to make vp their sinnes alvvaies. for the vvrath of God is come vpon them euen to the end.

16   But vve, brethren, note depriued of you for a short time, in sight, not in hart: haue hastened the more aboundantly to see your face vvith much desire.

17   For vve vvould haue come to you, I Paul certes, once and againe: but Satan hath hindered vs.

18   For vvhat is our hope, or ioy, or crovvne of glorie? noteAre not you before our Lord Iesvs Christ in his comming?

19   For you are our glorie and ioy.
