절	Contemporary English Version (2006)	King James Version
1	Paul's Work in Thessalonica My friends, you know our time with you wasn't wasted.	For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain:
2	As you remember, we had been mistreated and insulted at Philippi. But God gave us the courage to tell you the good news about him, even though many people caused us trouble.	But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention.
3	We didn't have any hidden motives when we won you over, and we didn't try to fool or trick anyone.	For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:
4	God was pleased to trust us with his message. We didn't speak to please people, but to please God who knows our motives.	But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.
5	You also know we didn't try to flatter anyone. God himself knows what we did wasn't a cover-up for greed.	For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness:
6	We were not trying to get you or anyone else to praise us.	Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.
7	But as apostles, we could have demanded help from you. After all, Christ is the one who sent us. We chose to be like children or like a mother nursing her baby.	But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children:
8	We cared so much for you, and you became so dear to us, that we were willing to give our lives for you when we gave you God's message.	So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us.
9	My dear friends, you surely haven't forgotten our hard work and hardships. You remember how night and day we struggled to make a living, so we could tell you God's message without being a burden to anyone.	For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for labouring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.
10	Both you and God are witnesses that we were pure and honest and innocent in our dealings with you followers of the Lord.	Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:
11	You also know we did everything for you that parents would do for their own children.	As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father doth his children,
12	We begged, encouraged, and urged each of you to live in a way that would honor God. He is the one who chose you to share in his own kingdom and glory.	That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.
13	We always thank God that you believed the message we preached. It came from him, and it isn't something made up by humans. You accepted it as God's message, and now he is working in you.	For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
14	My friends, you did just like God's churches in Judea and like the other followers of Christ Jesus there. And so, you were mistreated by your own people, in the same way they were mistreated by their people.	For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews:
15	Those evil people killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and they even chased us away. God doesn't like what they do and neither does anyone else.	Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:
16	They keep us from speaking his message to the Gentiles and from leading them to be saved. They have always gone too far with their sins. Now God has finally become angry and will punish them.	Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.
17	Paul Wants To Visit the Church Again My friends, we were kept from coming to you for a while, but we never stopped thinking about you. We were eager to see you and tried our best to visit you in person.	But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavoured the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.
18	We really wanted to come. I myself tried several times, but Satan always stopped us.	Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us.
19	After all, when the Lord Jesus appears, who else but you will give us hope and joy and be like a glorious crown for us?	For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?
20	You alone are our glory and joy!	For ye are our glory and joy.
