¹² So then hōste, my egō dear friends agapētos, just as kathōs you have always pantote obeyed hypakouō, not mē only monon in en · ho my egō presence parousia but alla even polys more mallon now nyn in en · ho my egō absence apousia, continue to work out katergazomai your heautou salvation sōtēria with meta fear phobos and kai trembling tromos, · ho ¹³ for gar it is eimi God theos who ho is at work energeō in en you hymeis, both kai to will thelō and kai to work energeō on behalf hyper of his ho good pleasure eudokia. ¹⁴ Do poieō all pas things without chōris grumbling gongysmos or kai arguing dialogismos, ¹⁵ so that hina you may be ginomai blameless amemptos and kai innocent akeraios, children teknon of God theos above reproach in the midst mesos of a crooked skolios and kai perverse diastrephō generation genea, among en whom hos you shine phainō like hōs stars phōstēr in en the universe kosmos, ¹⁶ holding fast epechō the word logos of life zōē, so that eis I egō may have reason to boast kauchēma on eis the day hēmera of Christ Christos that hoti I did trechō not ou run trechō in eis vain kenos or oude labor kopiaō in eis vain kenos. ¹⁷ But alla even kai if ei I am to be poured spendō out as a drink offering upon epi the ho sacrifice thusia and kai service leitourgia of ho your hymeis faith pistis, I am glad chairō and kai rejoice synchairō with all pas of you hymeis. ¹⁸ Likewise ho de · de you hymeis also kai should be glad chairō and kai rejoice synchairō with me egō.

¹⁹ I hope elpizō · de in en the Lord kyrios Jesus Iēsous to send pempō Timothy Timotheos to you hymeis soon tacheōs, so that hina I too kagō may be encouraged eupsycheō by news ginōskō · ho about peri you hymeis. ²⁰ For gar I have echō no one else oudeis of like mind isopsychos who hostis will be merimnaō genuinely gnēsiōs concerned merimnaō for peri your hymeis welfare ho. ²¹ For gar they ho all pas look out for zēteō their own heautou interests ho, not ou for those ho of Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos. ²² · ho But de you know ginōskō Timothy’ s autos proven character dokimē, how hoti as hōs a child teknon with his father patēr he served douleuō with syn me egō in the furtherance eis of the ho gospel euangelion. ²³ Therefore oun I hope elpizō to send pempō him houtos just as soon exautēs as hōs I see aphoraō how things ho will turn out for peri me egō; ²⁴ and de I trust peithō in en the Lord kyrios that hoti I erchomai myself autos also kai will be coming erchomai soon tacheōs. ²⁵ In the meantime de I think hēgeomai it necessary anankaios to send pempō to pros you hymeis Epaphroditus Epaphroditos, · ho my egō brother adelphos, · kai fellow worker synergos, and kai fellow soldier systratiōtēs, as well as de your hymeis messenger apostolos and kai minister leitourgos to ho my egō need chreia, ²⁶ because epeidē he has been eimi longing epipotheō for all pas of you hymeis and kai has been distressed adēmoneō because dioti you heard akouō that hoti he was ill astheneō. ²⁷ Indeed kai gar he was ill astheneō; he almost paraplēsios died thanatos. But alla · ho God theos had mercy eleeō on him autos, and de not ou only monon on him autos but alla on me egō as well kai, so that hina I would echō not mē have echō sorrow lypē upon epi sorrow lypē. ²⁸ Therefore oun I am all the more eager spoudaiōs to send pempō him autos, so that hina when you see him autos again palin you may rejoice chairō and I kagō may eimi no longer be eimi anxious alypos. ²⁹ Therefore oun welcome prosdechomai him autos in en the Lord kyrios with meta great pas joy chara, and kai hold echō · ho such toioutos men in honor entimos, ³⁰ because hoti he came close engizō to mechri death thanatos for dia the ho work ergon of Christ Christos, risking paraboleuomai his ho life psychē to hina make up anaplēroō for the ho help leitourgia · ho you hymeis were not able hysterēma to give pros me egō.

¹³ After they autos had gone anachōreō, · de an angel angelos of the Lord kyrios appeared phainō in kata a dream onar to ho Joseph Iōsēph, saying legō, “ Rise egeirō, take paralambanō the ho child paidion and kai · ho his autos mother mētēr, · kai flee pheugō to eis Egypt Aigyptos, and kai stay eimi there ekei until heōs an I tell legō you sy; for gar Herod hērōdēs is going mellō to search zēteō for the ho child paidion · ho to destroy apollymi him autos.” ¹⁴ So de he ho got egeirō up , took paralambanō the ho child paidion and kai · ho his autos mother mētēr by night nyx, and kai left anachōreō for eis Egypt Aigyptos, ¹⁵ and kai was eimi there ekei until heōs the ho death teleutē of Herod hērōdēs. This was to hina fulfill plēroō what ho was spoken legō by hypo the Lord kyrios through dia the ho prophet prophētēs: “ Out ek of Egypt Aigyptos I have called kaleō · ho my egō son hyios.”

¹⁶ Then tote Herod hērōdēs, when he saw that hoti he had been tricked empaizō by hypo the ho wise magos men , became furious thumoō; and kai he sent apostellō and killed anaireō all pas the ho male pais children · ho in en Bethlehem Bēthleem and kai in en all pas · ho her autos regions horion who were two years old dietēs or kai under katōterō, according kata to the ho time chronos that hos he had determined akriboō from para the ho wise magos men . ¹⁷ Then tote was fulfilled plēroō what ho was spoken legō by dia the ho prophet prophētēs Jeremiah Ieremias: ¹⁸ “A voice phōnē was heard akouō in en Ramah Rhama, weeping klauthmos and kai loud polys lamentation odyrmos, Rachel Rhachēl weeping klaiō for · ho her autos children teknon; · kai she refused ou to be comforted parakaleō, because hoti they were eimi no ou more .”

¹⁹ But de when Herod hērōdēs died teleutaō, · ho an angel angelos of the Lord kyrios appeared phainō in kata a dream onar to ho Joseph Iōsēph in en Egypt Aigyptos, ²⁰ saying legō, “ Rise egeirō, take paralambanō the ho child paidion and kai · ho his autos mother mētēr, and kai go poreuō to eis the land gē of Israel Israēl, for gar those ho who were seeking zēteō the ho child’ s paidion life psychē · ho are dead thnēskō.” ²¹ · ho So de Joseph got egeirō up , took paralambanō the ho child paidion and kai · ho his autos mother mētēr, and kai went eiserchomai into eis the land gē of Israel Israēl. ²² But de when he heard akouō that hoti Archelaus Archelaos was reigning basileuō over · ho Judea Ioudaia in place anti of · ho his autos father patēr Herod hērōdēs, he was afraid phobeomai to go aperchomai there ekei, and de being warned chrēmatizō in kata a dream onar he went anachōreō into eis the ho region meros of ho Galilee Galilaia. ²³ And kai he went erchomai and settled katoikeō in eis a town polis called legō Nazareth Nazaret, that hopōs what ho was spoken legō by dia the ho prophets prophētēs might be fulfilled plēroō: “ He will be called kaleō a Nazarene Nazōraios.”
