| 1:1 | Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians [which is] in God the Father and [in] the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace [be] to you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. | | 1:2 | We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; | | 1:3 | Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; | | 1:4 | Knowing, brethren beloved, your election by God. | | 1:5 | For our gospel came not to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake. | | 1:6 | And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit: | | 1:7 | So that ye were examples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia. | | 1:8 | For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing. | | 1:9 | For they themselves show of us what manner of entrance we had to you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God; | | 1:10 | And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, [even] Jesus, who delivered us from the wrath to come. |
