1:1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you+ and peace.
1:2 We give thanks to God always for all of you+, making mention [of you+] in our prayers without ceasing, 1:3 remembering your+ work of faith and labor of love and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father; 1:4 knowing, brothers beloved by God, your+ election, 1:5 how that our good news did not come to you+ in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance; even as you+ know what manner of men we showed ourselves among you+ for your+ sake. 1:6 And you+ became imitators of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit; 1:7 so that you+ became an example to all who believe in Macedonia and in Achaia. 1:8 For from you+ has sounded forth the word of the Lord, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your+ faith toward God has gone forth; so that we don't need to speak anything. 1:9 For they themselves report concerning us what manner of entering in we had to you+; and how you+ turned to God from idols, to serve as slaves to a living and true God, 1:10 and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, [even] Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come. |
