1 Thessalonians

Chapter 3

Phonetic (Greek): Dio meketi stegontes eydokesamen kataleiphthenai en Ἀthenais monoi,

Edified Edition (EDE)Therefore, when we could no longer endure it, we thought it good to be left in Athens alone,

Διὸ μηκέτι στέγοντες εὐδοκήσαμεν καταλειφθῆναι ἐν Ἀθήναις μόνοι,

Phonetic (Greek): kai epempsamen Timotheon, ton adelphon hemon kai ⸀synergon toy ⸀theoy en tῷ eyangeliῳ toy Christoy, eis to sterixai hymas kai parakalesai ⸀hyper tes pisteos hymon

Edified Edition (EDE)and sent Timothy, our brother and minister of God, and our fellow labourer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you and encourage you concerning your faith,

καὶ ἐπέμψαμεν Τιμόθεον, τὸν ἀδελφὸν ἡμῶν καὶ ⸀συνεργὸν τοῦ ⸀θεοῦ ἐν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ τοῦ Χριστοῦ, εἰς τὸ στηρίξαι ὑμᾶς καὶ παρακαλέσαι ⸀ὑπὲρ τῆς πίστεως ὑμῶν

Phonetic (Greek): to medena sainesthai en tais thlipsesin taytais. aytoi gar oidate hoti eis toyto keimetha·

Edified Edition (EDE)that no one should be shaken by these afflictions; for you yourselves know that we are appointed to this.

τὸ μηδένα σαίνεσθαι ἐν ταῖς θλίψεσιν ταύταις. αὐτοὶ γὰρ οἴδατε ὅτι εἰς τοῦτο κείμεθα·

Phonetic (Greek): kai gar hote pros hymas emen, proelegomen hymin hoti mellomen thlibesthai, kathos kai egeneto kai oidate.

Edified Edition (EDE)For, in fact, we told you before when we were with you that we would suffer tribulation, just as it happened, and you know.

καὶ γὰρ ὅτε πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἦμεν, προελέγομεν ὑμῖν ὅτι μέλλομεν θλίβεσθαι, καθὼς καὶ ἐγένετο καὶ οἴδατε.

Phonetic (Greek): dia toyto kago meketi stegon epempsa eis to gnonai ten pistin hymon, me pos epeirasen hymas ho peirazon kai eis kenon genetai ho kopos hemon.

Edified Edition (EDE)For this reason, when I could no longer endure it, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter had tempted you, and our labour might be in vain.

διὰ τοῦτο κἀγὼ μηκέτι στέγων ἔπεμψα εἰς τὸ γνῶναι τὴν πίστιν ὑμῶν, μή πως ἐπείρασεν ὑμᾶς ὁ πειράζων καὶ εἰς κενὸν γένηται ὁ κόπος ἡμῶν.

Edified Edition (EDE)But now that Timothy has come to us from you, and brought us good news of your faith and love, and that you always have good remembrance of us, greatly desiring to see us, as we also to see you,

Ἄρτι δὲ ἐλθόντος Τιμοθέου πρὸς ἡμᾶς ἀφʼ ὑμῶν καὶ εὐαγγελισαμένου ἡμῖν τὴν πίστιν καὶ τὴν ἀγάπην ὑμῶν, καὶ ὅτι ἔχετε μνείαν ἡμῶν ἀγαθὴν πάντοτε ἐπιποθοῦντες ἡμᾶς ἰδεῖν καθάπερ καὶ ἡμεῖς ὑμᾶς,

Phonetic (Greek): dia toyto pareklethemen, adelphoi, ephʼ hymin epi pasῃ tῇ ⸂anankῃ kai thlipsei⸃ hemon dia tes hymon pisteos,

Edified Edition (EDE)therefore, brothers, in all our affliction and distress we were comforted concerning you by your faith.

διὰ τοῦτο παρεκλήθημεν, ἀδελφοί, ἐφʼ ὑμῖν ἐπὶ πάσῃ τῇ ⸂ἀνάγκῃ καὶ θλίψει⸃ ἡμῶν διὰ τῆς ὑμῶν πίστεως,

Phonetic (Greek): hoti nyn zomen ean hymeis stekete en kyriῳ.

Phonetic (Greek): tina gar eycharistian dynametha tῷ theῷ antapodoynai peri hymon epi pasῃ tῇ charᾷ he chairomen diʼ hymas emprosthen toy theoy hemon,

Edified Edition (EDE)For what thanks can we render to God for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sake before our God,

τίνα γὰρ εὐχαριστίαν δυνάμεθα τῷ θεῷ ἀνταποδοῦναι περὶ ὑμῶν ἐπὶ πάσῃ τῇ χαρᾷ ᾗ χαίρομεν διʼ ὑμᾶς ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμῶν,

Phonetic (Greek): Aytos de ho theos kai pater hemon kai ho kyrios hemon ⸀Ἰesoys kateuthynai ten hodon hemon pros hymas·

Edified Edition (EDE)Now may our God and Father Himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way to you.

Phonetic (Greek): hymas de ho kyrios pleonasai kai perisseysai tῇ agapῃ eis allelous kai eis pantas, kathaper kai hemeis eis hymas,
