The man who perpetrates a wrong will find the wrong repaid to him; and with God there are no merely earthly distinctions.

οὐκ ouk “not”

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.

οὐκ ouk “not”

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.

οὐ ou “not”

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

οὐ ou “not”

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

οὐκ ouk “[is] not”

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.

οὐχ ouch “not”

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.

οὐ ou “not”

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

οὐ ou “not”

But we, brethren, having been for a short time separated from you in bodily presence, though not in heart, endeavoured all the more earnestly, with intense longing, to see you face to face.

God has not called us to an unclean life, but to one of purity.

For this we declare to you on the Lord's own authority--that we who are alive and continue on earth until the Coming of the Lord, shall certainly not forestall those who shall have previously passed away.
