¹³ And kai for dia this houtos reason we hēmeis also kai constantly adialeiptōs thank eucharisteō · ho God theos, that hoti when you received paralambanō the word logos of ho God theos which you heard akoē from para us hēmeis, you accepted dechomai it not ou as a human anthrōpos word logos, but alla as kathōs it truly alēthōs is eimi, the word logos of God theos, which hos even kai now is doing energeō its work in en you hymeis who ho believe pisteuō.

¹⁴ For gar you hymeis, brothers adelphos, became ginomai imitators mimētēs of the ho churches ekklēsia of ho God theos in en Christ Christos Jesus Iēsous which ho are eimi in en · ho Judea Ioudaia; because hoti you hymeis too kai suffered paschō the ho same autos things from hypo · ho your own idios countrymen symphyletēs, even as kathōs · kai they autos did from hypo the ho Jews Ioudaios, ¹⁵ who ho · kai killed apokteinō the ho Lord kyrios Jesus Iēsous and kai the ho prophets prophētēs, and kai have driven us hēmeis out ekdiōkō, · kai who are displeasing mē to God theos and kai oppose enantios all pas mankind anthrōpos, ¹⁶ who prevent kōlyō us hēmeis from speaking laleō to the ho Gentiles ethnos that hina they might be saved sōzō. Their goal eis has always pantote been to complete anaplēroō the full number of their autos · ho sins hamartia. But de God’s wrath orgē has caught up phthanō with epi them autos · ho at eis last telos!

Is it not ouchi indeed kai you hymeis? ²⁰ Yes gar, you hymeis are eimi · ho our hēmeis glory doxa and kai · ho joy chara!
