¹ For you yourselves know brethren that our coming to you was not in vain

² but after we had already suffered and been mistreated in Philippi as you know we had the boldness in our God to speak to you the gospel of God amid much opposition.

³ For our exhortation does not come from error or impurity or by way of deceit;

⁴ but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel so we speak not as pleasing men but God who examines our hearts.

⁵ For we never came with flattering speech as you know nor with a pretext for greed--God is witness--

⁶ nor did we seek glory from men either from you or from others even though as apostles of Christ we might have asserted our authority.

⁷ But we proved to be gentle among you as a nursing mother tenderly cares for her own children.

⁸ Having so fond an affection for you we were well-pleased to impart to you not only the gospel of God but also our own lives because you had become very dear to us.

⁹ For you recall brethren our labor and hardship how working night and day so as not to be a burden to any of you we proclaimed to you the gospel of God.

¹⁰ You are witnesses and so is God how devoutly and uprightly and blamelessly we behaved toward you believers;

¹¹ just as you know how we were exhorting and encouraging and imploring each one of you as a father would his own children

¹² so that you would walk in a manner worthy of the God who calls you into His own kingdom and glory.

¹³ For this reason we also constantly thank God that when you received the word of God which you heard from us you accepted it not as the word of men but for what it really is the word of God which also performs its work in you who believe.

¹⁴ For you brethren became imitators of the churches of God in Christ Jesus that are in Judea for you also endured the same sufferings at the hands of your own countrymen even as they did from the Jews

¹⁵ who both killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets and drove us out. They are not pleasing to God but hostile to all men

¹⁶ hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved; with the result that they always fill up the measure of their sins. But wrath has come upon them to the utmost.

¹⁷ But we brethren having been taken away from you for a short while--in person not in spirit--were all the more eager with great desire to see your face.

¹⁸ For we wanted to come to you--I Paul more than once--and yet Satan hindered us.

¹⁹ For who is our hope or joy or crown of exultation? Is it not even you in the presence of our Lord Jesus at His coming?

²⁰ For you are our glory and joy.
