| 1 | αυτοι |  | γαρ |  | οιδατε |  | αδελφοι |  | την |  | εισοδον |  | ημων |  | την
|  | For yourselves 2 |  | ♦ |  | ye know, 1 |  | brethren, |  | our entrance in |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | which [we had]

| προς |  | υμας |  | οτι |  | ου |  | κενη |  | γεγονεν |  |
| to |  | you, |  | that |  | not |  | void |  | it has been; |  |

| 2 | αλλα |  | και |  | προπαθοντες |  | και |  | υβρισθεντες |  | καθως |  | οιδατε |  | εν |
|  | but |  | also |  | having before suffered |  | and |  | having been insulted, |  | even as |  | ye know, |  | at |

φιλιπποις |  | επαρρησιασαμεθα |  | εν |  | τω |  | θεω |  | ημων |  | λαλησαι |  | προς |  | υμας |  | το |
Philippi, |  | we were bold |  | in |  | our God |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | to speak |  | to |  | you |  | the |

ευαγγελιον |  | του |  | θεου |  | εν |  | πολλω |  | αγωνι |  |
glad tidings |  | ♦ |  | of God |  | in |  | much |  | conflict. |  |

| 3 | η |  | γαρ |  | παρακλησις |  | ημων |  | ουκ |  | εκ |  | πλανης |  | ουδε |  | εξ |  | ακαθαρσιας |  | ουτε |  | εν |
|  | ♦ |  | For |  | exhortation 2 |  | our 1 |  | [was] not |  | of |  | error, |  | nor |  | of |  | uncleaness, |  | nor |  | in |

δολω |  |
guile; |  |

| 4 | αλλα |  | καθως |  | δεδοκιμασμεθα |  | υπο |  | του |  | θεου |  | πιστευθηναι |  | το |
|  | but |  | even as |  | we have been approved |  | by |  | ♦ |  | God |  | to be entrusted with |  | the |

ευαγγελιον |  | ουτως |  | λαλουμεν |  | ουχ |  | ως |  | ανθρωποις |  | αρεσκοντες |  | αλλα |  | τω |
glad tidings, |  | so |  | we speak; |  | not |  | as |  | men 2 |  | pleasing, 1 |  | but |  | ♦ |

θεω |  | τω |  | δοκιμαζοντι |  | τας |  | καρδιας |  | ημων |  |
God, |  | who |  | proves |  | the |  | hearts |  | of us. |  |

| 5 | ουτε |  | γαρ |  | ποτε |  | εν |  | λογω |  | κολακειας |  | εγενηθημεν |  | καθως |  | οιδατε |
|  | For neither |  | ♦ |  | at any time |  | with |  | word |  | of flattery |  | were we [with you], |  | even as |  | ye know, |

ουτε |  | εν |  | προφασει |  | πλεονεξιας |  | θεος |  | μαρτυς |  |
nor |  | with |  | a pretext |  | of covetousness, |  | God [is] |  | witness; |  |

| 6 | ουτε |  | ζητουντες |  | εξ |  | ανθρωπων |  | δοξαν |  | ουτε |  | αφ |  | υμων |  | ουτε |  | απ |  | αλλων |
|  | nor |  | seeking |  | from |  | men |  | glory, |  | neither |  | from |  | you |  | nor |  | from |  | others, |

δυναμενοι |  | εν |  | βαρει |  | ειναι |  | ως |  | χριστου |  | αποστολοι |  |
[though] having power |  | burdensome 3 |  | ♦ |  | to 1 be 2 |  | as |  | Christ’s |  | apostles; |  |

| 7 | αλλ |  | εγενηθημεν |  | ηπιοι |  | εν |  | μεσω |  | υμων |  | ως |  | αν |  | τροφος |  | θαλπη |
|  | but |  | we were |  | gentle |  | in |  | your midst, |  | ♦ |  | as |  | ♦ |  | a nurse |  | would cherish |

τα |  | εαυτης |  | τεκνα |  |
her own |  | ♦ |  | children. |  |

| 8 | ουτως |  | ιμειρομενοι |  | υμων |  | ευδοκουμεν |  | μεταδουναι |  | υμιν |  | ου |  | μονον |  | το |
|  | Thus |  | yearning over |  | you, |  | we were pleased |  | to have imparted |  | to you |  | not |  | only |  | the |

ευαγγελιον |  | του |  | θεου |  | αλλα |  | και |  | τας |  | εαυτων |  | ψυχας |  | διοτι |  | αγαπητοι |  | ημιν |
glad tidings |  | ♦ |  | of God, |  | but |  | also |  | our |  | own |  | lives, |  | because |  | beloved |  | to us |

γεγενησθε |  |
ye have become. |  |

| 9 | μνημονευετε |  | γαρ |  | αδελφοι |  | τον |  | κοπον |  | ημων |  | και |  | τον |  | μοχθον |  | νυκτος
|  | For ye remember, |  | ♦ |  | brethren, |  | our labour |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | and |  | the |  | toil, |  | for night

| γαρ |  | και |  | ημερας |  | εργαζομενοι |  | προς |  | το |  | μη |  | επιβαρησαι |  | τινα |  | υμων |
| ♦ |  | and |  | day |  | working, |  | for |  | ♦ |  | not |  | to burden |  | anyone |  | of you, |

εκηρυξαμεν |  | εις |  | υμας |  | το |  | ευαγγελιον |  | του |  | θεου |  |
we proclaimed |  | to |  | you |  | the |  | glad tidings |  | ♦ |  | of God. |  |
