but even after that we had suffered before and were shamefully entreated at Philippi - as ye well know - then were we bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God, with much striving.

but as we were allowed of God, that the gospel should be committed unto us: even so we speak, not as though we intended to please men, but God, which trieth our hearts.

But were tender among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children,

For this cause thank we God without ceasing, because that when ye received of us the word, wherewith God was preached, ye received it not as the word of man: but even as it was, indeed, the word of God; which worketh in you that believe.

which as they killed the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, even so have they persecuted us, and God they please not, and are contrary to all men:

and forbid us to preach unto the gentiles, that they might be saved, to fulfill their sins always: For the wrath of God is come on them, even to the utmost.

that no man should be moved in these afflictions. For ye yourselves know that we are even appointed thereunto.

For verily when I was with you, I told you before that we should suffer tribulation even as it came to pass, and as ye know.

and the Lord increase you, and make you flow over in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you,

Furthermore, we beseech you brethren, and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that ye increase more and more, even as ye have received of us, how ye ought to walk and to please God.

For this is the will of God, even that ye should be holy, and that ye should abstain from fornication,

For if we believe that Jesus died, and rose again: even so them also which sleep by Jesus, will God bring again with him.

for ye your selves know perfectly, that the day of the Lord shall come even as a thief in the night.

Wherefore, comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as ye do.
