2:1 For
you
yourselves
know,
brothers,
that
our
coming
to
you
was
not
in
vain.
2:2 But
though
we
had
already
suffered
and
been
shamefully
treated
at
Philippi,
as
you
know,
we
had
boldness
in
our
God
to
declare
to
you
the
gospel
of
God
in
the
midst
of
much
conflict.
2:3 For
our
appeal
does
not
spring
from
error
or
impurity
or
any
attempt
to
deceive,
2:4 but
just
as
we
have
been
approved
by
God
to
be
entrusted
with
the
gospel,
so
we
speak,
not
to
please
man,
but
to
please
God
who
tests
our
hearts.
2:5 For
we
never
came
with
words
of
flattery,
as
you
know,
nor
with
a
pretext
for
greed--God
is
witness.
2:6 Nor
did
we
seek
glory
from
people,
whether
from
you
or
from
others,
though
we
could
have
made
demands
as
apostles
of
Christ.
2:7 But
we
were
gentle
among
you,
like
a
nursing
mother
taking
care
of
her
own
children.
2:8 So,
being
affectionately
desirous
of
you,
we
were
ready
to
share
with
you
not
only
the
gospel
of
God
but
also
our
own
selves,
because
you
had
become
very
dear
to
us.
2:9 For
you
remember,
brothers,
our
labor
and
toil:
we
worked
night
and
day,
that
we
might
not
be
a
burden
to
any
of
you,
while
we
proclaimed
to
you
the
gospel
of
God.
2:10 You
are
witnesses,
and
God
also,
how
holy
and
righteous
and
blameless
was
our
conduct
toward
you
believers.
2:11 For
you
know
how,
like
a
father
with
his
children,
2:12 we
exhorted
each
one
of
you
and
encouraged
you
and
charged
you
to
walk
in
a
manner
worthy
of
God,
who
calls
you
into
his
own
kingdom
and
glory.
2:13 And
we
also
thank
God
constantly
for
this,
that
when
you
received
the
word
of
God,
which
you
heard
from
us,
you
accepted
it
not
as
the
word
of
men
but
as
what
it
really
is,
the
word
of
God,
which
is
at
work
in
you
believers.
2:14 For
you,
brothers,
became
imitators
of
the
churches
of
God
in
Christ
Jesus
that
are
in
Judea.
For
you
suffered
the
same
things
from
your
own
countrymen
as
they
did
from
the
Jews,
2:15 who
killed
both
the
Lord
Jesus
and
the
prophets,
and
drove
us
out,
and
displease
God
and
oppose
all
mankind
2:16 by
hindering
us
from
speaking
to
the
Gentiles
that
they
might
be
saved--so
as
always
to
fill
up
the
measure
of
their
sins.
But
God's
wrath
has
come
upon
them
at
last!
2:17 But
since
we
were
torn
away
from
you,
brothers,
for
a
short
time,
in
person
not
in
heart,
we
endeavored
the
more
eagerly
and
with
great
desire
to
see
you
face
to
face,
2:18 because
we
wanted
to
come
to
you--I,
Paul,
again
and
again--but
Satan
hindered
us.
2:19 For
what
is
our
hope
or
joy
or
crown
of
boasting
before
our
Lord
Jesus
at
his
coming
Is
it
not
you
2:20 For
you
are
our
glory
and
joy.
