1For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain:
1⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⲛⲉⲛ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲙⲱⲓⲧ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲁⲛϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉϥϣⲟⲩⲓⲧ.
2But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention.

3For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:

4But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.
4ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲉⲣⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲁⲍⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲫϯ ⲉⲧⲉⲛϩⲟⲩⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⲧⲉⲛⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲉⲩⲣⲁⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲫϯ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉⲣⲇⲟⲕⲓⲙⲁⲍⲓⲛ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ.
5For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness:
5ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲛϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲟⲡⲥⲉⲡ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲗⲱⲓϫⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲉⲧϭⲓ⳿ⲛϫⲟⲛⲥ ⲫϯ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲣⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ.
6Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.

7But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children:

8So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us.

9For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for labouring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.

10Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:

11As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father doth his children,

13For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

14For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews:

15Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:

16Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.

17But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavoured the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.
