\verseNumber{2}We|strong="G2249" give|strong="G2168" praise to|strong="G1909" God|strong="G2316" at|strong="G1909" all|strong="G3956" times|strong="G3842" for|strong="G4012" you|strong="G5210", keeping you|strong="G5210" in|strong="G1909" memory in|strong="G1909" our|strong="G2316" prayers|strong="G4335"; 
\verseNumber{3}Having ever in|strong="G2316" mind|strong="G2532" your|strong="G2962" work|strong="G2041" of|strong="G2316" faith|strong="G4102" and|strong="G2532" acts of|strong="G2316" love|strong="G0026" and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G3588" strength of|strong="G2316" your|strong="G2962" hope|strong="G1680" in|strong="G2316" our|strong="G2316" Lord|strong="G2962" Jesus|strong="G2424" Christ|strong="G5547", before|strong="G1715" our|strong="G2316" God|strong="G2316" and|strong="G2532" Father|strong="G3962"; 
\verseNumber{4}Being|strong="G4771" conscious, my|strong="G5259" brothers|strong="G0080", dear to|strong="G2316" God|strong="G2316", that|strong="G2316" you|strong="G5210" have|strong="G3588" been marked out by|strong="G5259" God's purpose;

\verseNumber{6}And|strong="G2532" you|strong="G5210" took|strong="G1096" us|strong="G1722" and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G3588" Lord|strong="G2962" as|strong="G1722" your|strong="G2962" example, after|strong="G3326" the|strong="G3588" word|strong="G3056" had|strong="G3588" come|strong="G1096" to|strong="G2532" you|strong="G5210" in|strong="G1722" much|strong="G4183" trouble|strong="G2347", with|strong="G3326" joy|strong="G5479" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G3588" Holy|strong="G0040" Spirit|strong="G4151";

\chapterNumber{2}For|strong="G1063" you|strong="G5210" yourselves|strong="G0846", brothers|strong="G0080", are|strong="G3588" conscious that|strong="G3754" our|strong="G0080" coming|strong="G1529" among|strong="G4314" you|strong="G5210" was|strong="G3588" not|strong="G3756" without|strong="G3756" effect: 
\verseNumber{2}But|strong="G0235" after|strong="G2532" we|strong="G2249" had|strong="G2316" first undergone much|strong="G4183" pain and|strong="G2532" been|strong="G2532" cruelly attacked as|strong="G2531" you|strong="G5210" saw|strong="G1492", at|strong="G1722" Philippi|strong="G5375", by|strong="G1722" the|strong="G3588" help of|strong="G2316" God|strong="G2316" we|strong="G2249" gave you|strong="G5210" the|strong="G3588" good|strong="G2098" news|strong="G2098" without|strong="G2532" fear, though|strong="G2532" everything was|strong="G3588" against|strong="G4314" us|strong="G5195". 
\verseNumber{3}For|strong="G1063" our|strong="G1722" witness does|strong="G3761" not|strong="G3756" come|strong="G1537" from|strong="G1537" error|strong="G4106" or|strong="G3761" from|strong="G1537" an|strong="G3761" unclean|strong="G0167" heart or|strong="G3761" from|strong="G1537" deceit|strong="G1388": 
\verseNumber{4}But|strong="G0235" even as|strong="G5613" the|strong="G3588" good|strong="G2098" news|strong="G2098" was|strong="G3588" given to|strong="G2980" us by|strong="G5259" the|strong="G3588" approval|strong="G0700" of|strong="G2316" God|strong="G2316", so|strong="G3779" we|strong="G2249" give it|strong="G3779" out; not|strong="G3756" as|strong="G5613" pleasing|strong="G0700" men|strong="G0444", but|strong="G0235" God|strong="G2316" by|strong="G5259" whom|strong="G3588" our|strong="G2316" hearts|strong="G2588" are|strong="G3588" tested|strong="G1381". 
\verseNumber{5}For|strong="G1063" it is|strong="G2316" common knowledge among|strong="G1722" you|strong="G1722" that|strong="G1096" we|strong="G1492" never|strong="G3777" made|strong="G1096" use of|strong="G3056" smooth-sounding false words|strong="G3056", and|strong="G2316" God|strong="G2316" is|strong="G2316" witness|strong="G3144" that|strong="G1096" at|strong="G1722" no|strong="G3777" time|strong="G4218" were|strong="G1096" we|strong="G1492" secretly desiring profit for|strong="G1063" ourselves, 
\verseNumber{6}Or|strong="G3777" looking|strong="G2212" for|strong="G1722" glory|strong="G1391" from|strong="G0575" men|strong="G0444", from|strong="G0575" you|strong="G5210" or|strong="G3777" from|strong="G0575" others|strong="G0243", when|strong="G5613" we|strong="G1510" might|strong="G1410" have|strong="G1510" made|strong="G2212" ourselves a|strong="G5613" care to|strong="G1410" you|strong="G5210" as|strong="G5613" Apostles|strong="G0652" of|strong="G1537" Christ|strong="G5547". 
\verseNumber{7}But|strong="G0235" we|strong="G1437" were|strong="G1510" gentle|strong="G2261" among|strong="G1722" you|strong="G5210", like|strong="G5613" a|strong="G5613" woman caring|strong="G2282" for|strong="G1722" her|strong="G1437" little ones: 
\verseNumber{8}Even|strong="G2532" so|strong="G2532", being|strong="G1096" full of|strong="G2316" loving desire for|strong="G1360" you|strong="G5210", we|strong="G2249" took|strong="G1096" delight in|strong="G2316" giving you|strong="G5210" not|strong="G3756" only|strong="G3440" God's good|strong="G2106" news|strong="G2098", but|strong="G0235" even|strong="G2532" our|strong="G2316" lives|strong="G5590", because|strong="G1360" you|strong="G5210" were|strong="G1096" dear|strong="G0027" to|strong="G2532" us. 
\verseNumber{9}For|strong="G1063" you|strong="G5210" have|strong="G2532" the|strong="G3588" memory, my|strong="G2316" brothers|strong="G0080", of|strong="G2250" our|strong="G2316" trouble|strong="G2873" and|strong="G2532" care; how, working night|strong="G3571" and|strong="G2532" day|strong="G2250", so|strong="G2532" that|strong="G2250" we|strong="G2249" might|strong="G2532" not|strong="G3361" be|strong="G2532" a|strong="G2532" trouble|strong="G2873" to|strong="G1519" any|strong="G5100" of|strong="G2250" you|strong="G5210", we|strong="G2249" gave you|strong="G5210" the|strong="G3588" good|strong="G2098" news|strong="G2098" of|strong="G2250" God|strong="G2316". 
\verseNumber{10}You|strong="G5210" are|strong="G3588" witnesses|strong="G3144", with|strong="G2316" God|strong="G2316", how|strong="G5613" holy and|strong="G2532" upright|strong="G1346" and|strong="G2532" free from|strong="G2532" all|strong="G3588" evil was|strong="G3588" our|strong="G2316" way|strong="G5613" of|strong="G2316" life among you|strong="G5210" who|strong="G3588" have|strong="G2532" faith|strong="G4100"; 
\verseNumber{11}Even|strong="G2532" as|strong="G5613" you|strong="G5210" saw|strong="G1492" how|strong="G5613", like|strong="G5613" a|strong="G5613" father|strong="G3962" with|strong="G2532" his|strong="G1438" children|strong="G5043", we|strong="G2532" were|strong="G2532" teaching and|strong="G2532" comforting you|strong="G5210" all, and|strong="G2532" giving witness, 
\verseNumber{12}So|strong="G2532" that|strong="G2316" your|strong="G2532" lives might|strong="G2532" be|strong="G2532" pleasing to|strong="G1519" God|strong="G2316", who|strong="G3588" has|strong="G2316" given|strong="G3870" you|strong="G5210" a|strong="G2532" part in|strong="G1519" his|strong="G1438" kingdom|strong="G0932" and|strong="G2532" his|strong="G1438" glory|strong="G1391". 
\verseNumber{13}And|strong="G2532" for|strong="G3754" this|strong="G3778" cause we|strong="G2249" still give|strong="G2168" praise to|strong="G2532" God|strong="G2316", that|strong="G3754", when|strong="G2532" the|strong="G3588" word|strong="G3056" came|strong="G1223" to|strong="G2532" your|strong="G2532" ears|strong="G0189" through|strong="G1223" us|strong="G1722", you|strong="G5210" took|strong="G3880" it|strong="G1223", not|strong="G3756" as|strong="G2531" the|strong="G3588" word|strong="G3056" of|strong="G3056" man|strong="G0444", but|strong="G0235", as|strong="G2531" it|strong="G1223" truly|strong="G0230" is|strong="G1510", the|strong="G3588" word|strong="G3056" of|strong="G3056" God|strong="G2316", which|strong="G3739" has|strong="G2316" living power in|strong="G1722" you|strong="G5210" who|strong="G3739" have|strong="G1510" faith|strong="G4100". 
\verseNumber{14}For|strong="G1063" you|strong="G5210", my|strong="G1722" brothers|strong="G0080", took|strong="G1096" as|strong="G2531" your|strong="G2532" examples the|strong="G3588" churches|strong="G1577" of|strong="G2316" God|strong="G2316" which|strong="G3748" are|strong="G1510" in|strong="G1722" Judaea in|strong="G1722" Christ|strong="G5547" Jesus|strong="G2424"; because|strong="G3754" you|strong="G5210" underwent the|strong="G3588" same|strong="G0846" things|strong="G0846" from|strong="G5259" your|strong="G2532" countrymen|strong="G4853" as|strong="G2531" they|strong="G0846" did|strong="G1510" from|strong="G5259" the|strong="G3588" Jews|strong="G2453"; 
\verseNumber{15}Who|strong="G3588" put|strong="G0615" to|strong="G2532" death|strong="G0615" the|strong="G3956" Lord|strong="G2962" Jesus|strong="G2424" and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G3956" prophets|strong="G4396", violently driving us out; who|strong="G3588" are|strong="G3956" unpleasing to|strong="G2532" God|strong="G2316" and|strong="G2532" against|strong="G1727" all|strong="G3956" men|strong="G0444"; 
\verseNumber{16}Who|strong="G3588", to|strong="G1519" make the|strong="G3588" measure|strong="G0378" of|strong="G1909" their|strong="G0846" sins|strong="G0266" complete|strong="G0378", kept|strong="G2967" us|strong="G1519" from|strong="G2980" giving the|strong="G3588" word of|strong="G1909" salvation|strong="G4982" to|strong="G1519" the|strong="G3588" Gentiles|strong="G1484": but|strong="G1161" the|strong="G3588" wrath|strong="G3709" of|strong="G1909" God|strong="G0846" is|strong="G3588" about|strong="G1909" to|strong="G1519" come|strong="G5348" on|strong="G1909" them|strong="G0846" in|strong="G1519" the|strong="G3588" fullest degree. 
\verseNumber{17}But|strong="G1161" we|strong="G2249", my|strong="G3708" brothers|strong="G0080", being|strong="G4771" away|strong="G0575" from|strong="G0575" you|strong="G5210" for|strong="G4314" a|strong="G3708" short time|strong="G2540", in|strong="G1722" body but|strong="G1161" not|strong="G3756" in|strong="G1722" heart|strong="G2588", had|strong="G3588" all|strong="G3588" the|strong="G3588" more|strong="G4183" desire|strong="G1939" to|strong="G4314" see|strong="G3708" your|strong="G3708" face|strong="G4383";

\chapterNumber{3}At|strong="G1722" last our|strong="G1722" desire to|strong="G1722" have news of|strong="G1722" you|strong="G1722" was|strong="G2106" so|strong="G1352" strong that|strong="G1722", while|strong="G1722" we|strong="G1352" ourselves were waiting at|strong="G1722" Athens|strong="G0116",
