1 THESSALONIANS 2:1 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain:”
For you yourselves know, brothers, that our coming to you was not in vain — Paul's apostolic self-defense presupposes their intimate knowledge of his ministry among them. The 'not in vain' (ou kenos) echoes the emptiness of human ambition; his coming bore fruit because it was animated by divine purpose. Their experienced knowledge is the vindication of his apostolic authenticity.
