1 Tesalonicenses 2

Al contrario, aunque antes habíamos sufrido y fuimos maltratados en Filipos, como ya saben, tuvimos el valor en nuestro Dios para anunciarles el evangelio de Dios en medio de mucha oposición.

Pues aun habiendo padecido antes, y sido afrentados en Filipos, como sabéis, tuvimos denuedo en Dios nuestro para anunciaros el evangelio de Dios con gran combate.

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

but having suffered before and been shamefully treated, as you know, at Philippi, we grew bold in our God to tell you the Good News of God in much conflict.
