1 Tessalonicenses 2:17+ - Bíblia Online

For yourselves, brothers, know our entering in to you{+}, that it has not been found vain: 
but having suffered before and been shamefully treated, as you{+} know, at Philippi, we waxed bold in our God to speak to you{+} the good news of God in much conflict. 
For our exhortation [is] not of error, nor of impurity, nor in guile: 
but even as we have been approved of God to be entrusted with the good news, so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God who proves our hearts. 
For neither at any time did we come in words of flattery, as you{+} know, nor in a cloak of greed, God is witness; 
nor seeking glory of men, neither from you{+} nor from others. 
We could have been a burden as apostles of Christ. But we became juveniles among you{+}, as when a nurse cherishes her own children: 
even so, being affectionately desirous of you{+}, we were well pleased to impart to you{+}, not the good news of God only, but also our own souls, because you{+} became very dear to us. 
For you{+} remember, brothers, our labor and travail: working night and day, that we might not burden any of you{+}, we preached to you{+} the good news of God. 
You{+} are witnesses, and God [also], how holily and righteously and unblamably we became toward you{+} who believe: 
as you{+} know how we [dealt with] each one of you{+}, as a father with his own children, 
exhorting you{+}, and encouraging, and testifying, to the end that you{+} should walk worthily of God, who calls you{+} into his own kingdom and glory. 
And for this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that, when you{+} received from us the word of the message, [even the word] of God, you{+} accepted [it] not [as] the word of men, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which also works in you{+} who believe. 
For you{+}, brothers, became imitators of the churches of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus: for you{+} also suffered the same things of your{+} own countrymen, even as they did of the Jews; 
who both killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove out us, and did not please God, and are contrary to all men; 
forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved; to fill up their sins always: but the wrath has come upon them to the uttermost. 
But we, brothers, being bereaved of you{+} for a short season, in presence not in heart, endeavored the more exceedingly to see your{+} face with great desire: 
because we wanted to come to you{+}, I Paul once and again; and Satan hindered us. 
For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of glorying? Are not even you{+}, before our Lord Jesus at his coming? 
For you{+} are our glory and our joy.
