절	Good News Translation (1992)	King James Version
1	Paul's Work in Thessalonica Our friends, you yourselves know that our visit to you was not a failure.	For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain:
2	You know how we had already been mistreated and insulted in Philippi before we came to you in Thessalonica. And even though there was much opposition, our God gave us courage to tell you the Good News that comes from him.	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	Our appeal to you is not based on error or impure motives, nor do we try to trick anyone.	For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:
4	Instead, we always speak as God wants us to, because he has judged us worthy to be entrusted with the Good News. We do not try to please people, but to please God, who tests 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 know very well that we did not come to you with flattering talk, nor did we use words to cover up greed—God is our witness!	For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness:
6	We did not try to get praise from anyone, either from you or from others,	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	even though as apostles of Christ we could have made demands on you. But we were gentle when we were with you, like a mother taking care of her children.	But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children:
8	Because of our love for you we were ready to share with you not only the Good News from God but even our own lives. You were so dear to us!	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	Surely you remember, our friends, how we worked and toiled! We worked day and night so that we would not be any trouble to you as we preached to you the Good News from God.	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	You are our witnesses, and so is God, that our conduct toward you who believe was pure, right, and without fault.	Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:
11	You know that we treated each one of you just as parents treat 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 encouraged you, we comforted you, and we kept urging you to live the kind of life that pleases God, who calls 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	And there is another reason why we always give thanks to God. When we brought you God's message, you heard it and accepted it, not as a message from human beings but as God's message, which indeed it is. For God is at work in you who believe.	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	Our friends, the same things happened to you that happened to the churches of God in Judea, to the people there who belong to Christ Jesus. You suffered the same persecutions from your own people that they suffered from the Jews,	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	who killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and persecuted us. How displeasing they are to God! How hostile they are to everyone!	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 even tried to stop us from preaching to the Gentiles the message that would bring them salvation. In this way they have brought to completion all the sins they have always committed. And now God's anger has at last come down on 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's Desire to Visit Them Again As for us, friends, when we were separated from you for a little while—not in our thoughts, of course, but only in body—how we missed you and how hard we tried to see you again!	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 wanted to return to you. I myself tried to go back more than once, but Satan would not let us.	Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us.
19	After all, it is you—you, no less than others!—who are our hope, our joy, and our reason for boasting of our victory in the presence of our Lord Jesus when he comes.	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	Indeed, you are our pride and our joy!	For ye are our glory and joy.
