G3588–ὁ–ho

And tell Archippus to discharge carefully the duties devolving upon him as a servant of the Lord.

τὴν tēn “the”

I Paul add with my own hand this final greeting. Be mindful of me in my imprisonment. Grace be with you.

Ὁ Ho “The”τῇ tēa “<the>”τῶν tōn “<the>”ἡ hē “<the>”

Paul, Silas, and Timothy: To the Church of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. May grace and peace be granted to you.

τῇ tēa “To the”

We continually give thanks to God because of you all, while we make mention of you in our prayers.

τῷ tō “<the>”τῶν tōn “the”

For we never fail to remember your works of faith and labours of love and your persistent and unwavering hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the presence of our God and Father;

τοῦ tou “<the>”τῆς tēs “<the>”τοῦ tou “<the>”τῆς tēs “<the>”τῆς tēs “the”τῆς tēs “of the”τοῦ tou “of the”τοῦ tou “the”

knowing as we do, brethren, that you are beloved by God and that He has chosen you.

τοῦ tou “<the>”τὴν tēn “the”

The Good News that we brought you did not come to you in words only, but also with power and with the Holy Spirit and with much certainty, for you know the sort of men we became among you, as examples for your sakes.

τὸ to “the”

And you followed the pattern set you by us and by the Master, after you had received the Message amid severe persecution, and yet with the joy which the Holy Spirit gives,

τοῦ tou “of the”τὸν ton “the”

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

τοῖς tois “the”τῇ tēa “<the>”τῇ tēa “<the>”

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.

ὁ ho “the”τοῦ tou “of the”τῇ tēa “<the>”τῇ tēa “<the>”ἡ hē “the”ἡ hē “<the>”τὸν ton “<the>”

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,

τὸν ton “<the>”τῶν tōn “<the>”

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.

τὸν ton “the”τῶν tōn “the”τῶν tōn “the”τὸν ton “who”τῆς tēs “the”τῆς tēs “which”

For you yourselves, brethren, know that our visit to you did not fail of its purpose.

τὴν tēn “the”τὴν tēn “<the>”

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.

τῷ tō “the”τὸ to “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”

For our preaching was not grounded on a delusion, nor prompted by mingled motives, nor was there fraud in it.

ἡ hē “<the>”

But as God tested and approved us before entrusting us with His Good News, so in what we say we are seeking not to please men but to please God, who tests and approves our motives.

τοῦ tou “<the>”τὸ to “the”τῷ tō “<the>”τῷ tō “who”τὰς tas “the”

On the contrary, in our relations to you we showed ourselves as gentle as a mother is when she tenderly nurses her own children.

τὰ ta “<the>”

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.

τὸ to “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”τὰς tas “<the>”

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.

τὸν ton “the”τὸν ton “<the>”τὸ to “<the>”τὸ to “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”

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

ὁ ho “<the>”τοῖς tois “those”

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

τὸ to “<the>”τοῦ tou “<the>”τοῦ tou “who”τὴν tēn “the”

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

τῷ tō “<the>”τοῦ tou “<the>”τοῖς tois “who”

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.

τῶν tōn “of the”τοῦ tou “<the>”τῶν tōn “which”τῇ tēa “<the>”τὰ ta “the [same]”τῶν tōn “<the>”τῶν tōn “the”

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;

τῶν tōn “who”τὸν ton “the”τοὺς tous “<the>”

for they still try to prevent our preaching to the Gentiles so that they may find salvation. They thus continually fill up the measure of their own sins, and God's anger in its severest form has overtaken them.

τοῖς tois “to the”τὸ to “<the>”τὰς tas “<the>”ἡ hē “the”τοῦ tou “of the”
