G2532–καί–kai

so that you became a pattern to all the believers throughout Macedonia and Greece.

καὶ kai “and”

For it was not only from you that the Master's Message sounded forth throughout Macedonia and Greece; but everywhere your faith in God has become known, so that it is unnecessary for us to say anything about it.

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “also”

For when others speak of us they report the reception we had from you, and how you turned from your idols to God, to be bondservants of the true and ever-living God,

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

and to await the return from Heaven of His Son, whom He raised from among the dead--even Jesus, our Deliverer from God's coming anger.

καὶ kai “and”

But, as you will remember, after we had already met with suffering and outrage at Philippi, we summoned up boldness, by the help of our God, to tell you God's Good News amid much opposition.

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

Seeing that we were thus drawn affectionately towards you, it would have been a joy to us to have imparted to you not only God's Good News, but to have given our very lives also, because you had become very dear to us.

καὶ kai “also”

For you remember, brethren, our labour and toil: how, working night and day so as not to become a burden to any one of you, we came and proclaimed among you God's Good News.

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

You yourselves are witnesses--and God is witness--how holy and upright and blameless our dealings with you believers were.

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

For you know that we acted towards every one of you as a father does towards his own children, encouraging and cheering you,

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

and imploring you to live lives worthy of fellowship with God who is inviting you to share His own Kingship and glory.

καὶ kai “and”

And for this further reason we render unceasing thanks to God, that when you received God's Message from our lips, it was as no mere message from men that you embraced it, but as--what it really is--God's Message, which also does its work in the hearts

Καὶ Kai “And”καὶ kai “also”καὶ kai “also”

For you, brethren, followed the example of the Churches of God in Christ Jesus which are in Judaea; seeing that you endured the same ill-treatment at the hands of your countrymen, as they did at the hands of the Jews.

καὶ kai “also”καὶ kai “also [did]”

Those Jewish persecutors killed both the Lord Jesus and the Prophets, and drove us out of their midst. They are displeasing to God, and are the enemies of all mankind;

καὶ kai “both”καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

On this account we wanted to come to you--at least I Paul wanted again and again to do so--but Satan hindered us.

καὶ kai “both”καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

For what is our hope or joy, or the crown of which we boast? Is it not you yourselves in the presence of our Lord Jesus at His Coming?

καὶ kai “even”

Yes, you are our glory and our joy.

καὶ kai “and”

and sent Timothy our brother and God's minister in the service of Christ's Good News, that he might help you spiritually and encourage you in your faith;

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

For even when we were with you, we forewarned you, saying, "We are soon to suffer affliction;" and this actually happened, as you well know.

καὶ kai “And”καὶ kai “also”καὶ kai “and”

For this reason I also, when I could no longer endure the uncertainty, sent to know the condition of your faith, lest perchance the Tempter might have tempted you and our labour have been lost.

καὶ kai “and”

But now that Timothy has recently come back to us from you, and has brought us the happy tidings of your faith and love, and has told us how you still cherish a constant and affectionate recollection of us, and are longing to see us as we also long to se

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “also”

for this reason in our distress and trouble we have been comforted about you, brethren, by your faith.

καὶ kai “and”

while night and day, with intense earnestness, we pray that we may see your faces, and may bring to perfection whatever may be still lacking in your faith?

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

But may our God and Father Himself--and our Lord Jesus--guide us on our way to you;

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

and as for you, may the Lord teach you to love one another and all men, with a growing and a glowing love, resembling our love for you.

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “also”

Thus He will build up your characters, so that you will be faultlessly holy in the presence of our God and Father at the Coming of our Lord Jesus with all His holy ones.
