"Paul’s Ministry in Thessalonica For you yourselves know, brothers and sisters, about our coming to you– it has not proven to be purposeless."
— 1 Thessalonians 2:1, NET Bible
“For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain:”
“For yourselves, brethren, know our entering in unto you, that it hath not been found vain: ”
“For you yourselves know, brothers, our visit to you wasn't in vain,”
“For yourselves know, brethren, our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain:”
“For you yourselves, brothers, are conscious that our coming among you was not without effect:”
“For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain:”
Paul’s Ministry in Thessalonica For you yourselves know, brothers and sisters, about our coming to you– it has not proven to be purposeless.
But although we suffered earlier and were mistreated in Philippi, as you know, we had the courage in our God to declare to you the gospel of God in spite of much opposition.
For the appeal we make does not come from error or impurity or with deceit,
but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we declare it, not to please people but God, who examines our hearts.
