1 Thes. 2:9 (LIT/UBS4) Because (gar), brothers (adelphoi), you remember (mnēmoneuete) the (ton) labor (kopon) of us (hēmōn) and (kai) the (ton) hardship (mochthon), we causing ourselves to work (ergazomenoi) night (nuktos) and (kai) day (hēmeras), (for (pros) the (to) [labor, RE] not (mē) to be [a] weight upon (epibarēsai) anyone (tina) of you (humōn)), we preached (ekēruxamen) to (eis) you (humas) the (to) Evangelism (euangelion) of the (tou) God (theou).
1 Thes. 2:10 (LIT/UBS4) You (humeis) [are] witnesses (martures), the (ho) God (theos) also (kai), as (hōs) we were caused to become (egnēthēmen) holily (hosiōs), and (kai) righteously (dikaiōs), and (kai) faultlessly (amemptōs) [preaching, v9, RE] to you (humin), the (tois) [brothers, v9, RE] believing (pisteuousin).
1 Thes. 2:11 (LIT/UBS4) So be it down (kathaper) each (hekaston) one (hena) of you (humōn), as (hōs) you have seen (oidate).
As (hōs) [a] father (patēr) of ones born (tekna) of himself (heautou),
1 Thes. 2:12 (LIT/UBS4) we are accosting (parakalountes) you (humas), and (kai) we are causing ourselves to encourage (paramuthoumenoi) [you, RE], and (kai) we are causing ourselves to witness (marturomenoi) into (eis) the (to) [belief, v10, RE] of you (humas), to walk around (peripatein) worthily (axiōs) of the (tou) God (theou);
[to walk around worthily, RE] of the (tou) [God,RE] calling you aloud (kalountos humas) into (eis) the (tēn) Kingdom932 (basileian) and (kai) glory (doxan) of himself (heautou)!
1 Thes. 2:13 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) through (dia) [the sake, AE] of this (touto) we (hēmeis) give thanks well (eucharistoumen) also (kai) to the (tō) God (theō), unceasingly (adialeiptōs);
that (hoti) you having received alongside (paralabontes) [the] Word (logon) of the (tou) God (theou) heard (akoēs) alongside (par’) of us (hēmōn), you caused yourselves to receive (edexasthe) [it, AE] absolutely not (ou) [as, AE] [a] word (logon) of mortals (anthrōpōn), BUT (alla), down according to as (kathōs) [it, AE] is (estin) truly (alēthōs), [the] Word (logon) of God (theou);
which (hos) causes itself to energize (energeitai) in (en) you (humin) also (kai), the (tois) [brothers, v9, RE] believing (pisteuousin) [it, AE]!

1 Thes. 2:14 (LIT/UBS4) Because (gar) you (humeis), brothers (adelphoi), were caused to become (egenēthēte) imitators (mimētai) of the (tōn) assemblies (ekklēsiōn) of the (tou) God (theou), of the ones (tōn) being (ousōn) in (en) Judaea (Ioudaia), in (en) Christ (Christō) Jesus (Iēsou);
because (hoti) you (humeis) also (kai) suffered (epathete) the (ta) same things (auta) under (hupo) [authority, AE] of the (tōn) tribesmen (sumphuletōn) of your own (idiōn), down according to as (kathōs) they (autoi) also (kai) [suffered, RE] under (hupo) [authority, AE] of the (tōn) Judeans (Ioudaiōn);
1 Thes. 2:15 (LIT/UBS4) the (tōn) [Judeans, RE] having killed (apokteinantōn) both (kai) the (ton) lord (kurion), Jesus (Iēsoun), and (kai) the (tous) prophets (prophētas), and (kai) they having pursued out after (ekdiōxantōn) us (hēmas)!

1 Thes. 2:16 (LIT/UBS4) they cutting us off (kōluontōn hēmas) to speak (lalēsai) to the (tois) ethnic groups (ethnesin), in order that (hina) they may be made whole (sōthōsin);
into (eis) the (to) [wholeness, RE] <to> always (pantote) fulfill (anaplērōsai) [[the] letting go, AE] of the (tas) sins (hamartias) of them (autōn).
But (de) the (hē) anger (orgē) [of God, v15, RE] came sooner (ephthasen) upon (ep’) them (autous), into (eis) [an] end (telos) [of them, RE].
1 Thes. 2:17 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) we (hēmeis), brothers (adelphoi), orphans having been separated away (aporphanisthentes) from (aph’) you (humōn) for (pros) [a] time (kairon), [an] hour (hōras), [having been separated away from, RE] [the] face (prosōpō) [of you, RE], absolutely not (ou) [from, RE] [the] heart (kardia) [of you, RE], we made haste (espoudasamen) abundantly (perissoterōs) to see (idein) the (to) face (prosōpon) of you (humōn), in (en) much (pollē) desire (epithumia);
1 Thes. 2:18 (LIT/UBS4) through the reason that (dioti) we desired (ēthelēsamen) to come (elthein) to (pros) you (humas), truly (men), I (egō) Paul (Paulos), both (kai) once (hapax) and (kai) twice (dis), and (kai) the (ho) Satan (Satanas) interrupted (enekopsen) us (hēmas)!

1 Thes. 2:19 (LIT/UBS4) Because (gar) what (ti) [is] [the] hope (elpis) of us (hēmōn), or (ē) joy (chara), or (ē) crown (stephanos) of boasting (kauchēseōs)?
Or (ē) [is] [it, AE] absolutely not (ouchi) you (humeis) also (kai), in front (emprosthen) of the (tou) lord (kuriou) of us (hēmōn), Jesus (Iēsous), in (en) the (tē) presence (parousia) of him (autou)!?
