00:00.000 --> 00:05.300
Chapter 2 For yourselves, brethren,
know our entrance in unto you,

00:05.560 --> 00:06.800
that it was not in vain.

00:07.400 --> 00:11.140
But even after that we had suffered
before, and were shamefully entreated,

00:11.400 --> 00:16.140
as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in
our God to speak unto you the gospel of

00:16.140 --> 00:17.860
God with much contention.

00:18.680 --> 00:23.320
For our exhortation was not of deceit,
nor of uncleanness, nor in guile.

00:23.780 --> 00:28.800
But as we were allowed of God to be put in
trust with the gospel, even so we speak,

00:28.800 --> 00:33.540
not as pleasing men, but God which trieth
our hearts.

00:34.380 --> 00:38.760
For neither at any time used we flattering
words, as ye know, nor a cloak of

00:38.760 --> 00:39.500
covetousness.

00:40.160 --> 00:41.100
God is witness.

00:41.840 --> 00:46.460
Nor of men sought we glory, neither of
you, nor yet of others, when we might have

00:46.460 --> 00:48.900
been burdensome as the apostles of Christ.

00:49.920 --> 00:53.920
But we were gentle among you, even as a
nurse cherishedeth her children.

00:54.700 --> 00:59.240
So being affectionately desirous of you,
we were willing to have imparted unto you

00:59.240 --> 01:04.900
not the gospel of God only, but also our
own souls, because ye were dear unto us.

01:05.760 --> 01:08.780
For ye remember, brethren, our labor and
travail.

01:09.340 --> 01:13.640
For laboring night and day, because we
would not be chargeable unto any of you,

01:13.940 --> 01:16.360
we preached unto you the gospel of God.

01:16.360 --> 01:22.980
Ye are witnesses, and God also,
how wholly, and justly, and unblameably we

01:22.980 --> 01:25.100
behaved ourselves among you that believe.

01:26.100 --> 01:30.820
As ye know how we exhorted, and comforted,
and charged every one of you, as a father

01:30.820 --> 01:35.680
doth his children, that ye would walk
worthy of God, who hath called you unto

01:35.680 --> 01:37.100
his kingdom and glory.

01:38.440 --> 01:43.620
For this cause also thank we God without
ceasing, because when ye received the word

01:43.620 --> 01:50.160
of God, which ye heard of us, ye received
it not as the word of man, but as it is in

01:50.160 --> 01:55.680
truth, the word of God, which effectually
worketh also in you that believe.

01:56.560 --> 02:01.280
For ye, brethren, became followers of the
churches of God, which in Judea are in

02:01.280 --> 02:01.960
Christ Jesus.

02:02.640 --> 02:07.200
For ye also have suffered like things of
your own countrymen, even as they have of

02:07.200 --> 02:12.220
the Jews, who both killed the Lord Jesus
and their own prophets, and have

02:12.220 --> 02:18.500
persecuted us, and they please not God,
and are contrary to all men, forbidding us

02:18.500 --> 02:23.180
to speak to the Gentiles, that they might
be saved, to fill up their sins all way.

02:23.720 --> 02:26.700
For the wrath is come upon them to the
uttermost.

02:28.200 --> 02:34.180
But we, brethren, being taken from you for
a short time in presence, endeavored the

02:34.180 --> 02:37.260
more abundantly to see your face with
great desire.

02:38.120 --> 02:41.600
Wherefore we would have come unto you,
even I Paul, once and again.

02:41.600 --> 02:43.480
But Satan hindered us.

02:44.200 --> 02:47.880
For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of
rejoicing?

02:48.660 --> 02:52.160
Are not even ye in the presence of our
Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?

02:52.840 --> 02:55.640
For ye are our glory and joy.
