1Thess 1:1	Paul, ^aSilvanus, and Timothy, To the church of the ^bThessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: ^cGrace to you and peace.	Παῦλος καὶ Σιλουανὸς καὶ Τιμόθεος τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ Θεσσαλονικέων ἐν θεῷ πατρὶ καὶ κυρίῳ Ἰησοῦ Χριστῷ· χάρις ὑμῖν καὶ ^{▼▼ εἰρήνη = WH Treg NA/NIV: \|\| εἰρήνη ἀπὸ θεοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν καὶ κυρίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ = RP} εἰρήνη.
1Thess 1:2	^eWe give thanks to God always for all of you, constantly ^{▼▼Or without ceasing} ^gmentioning you in our prayers,	Εὐχαριστοῦμεν τῷ θεῷ πάντοτε περὶ πάντων ὑμῶν ^{▼▼ μνείαν = WH Treg NA/NIV: \|\| μνείαν ὑμῶν = RP} μνείαν ποιούμενοι ἐπὶ τῶν προσευχῶν ἡμῶν, ἀδιαλείπτως
1Thess 1:3	remembering before ⁱour God and Father ^jyour work of faith and labor of ^klove and ^lsteadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.	μνημονεύοντες ὑμῶν τοῦ ἔργου τῆς πίστεως καὶ τοῦ κόπου τῆς ἀγάπης καὶ τῆς ὑπομονῆς τῆς ἐλπίδος τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ πατρὸς ἡμῶν,
1Thess 1:4	For we know, ^mbrothers ^{▼▼Or brothers and sisters. The plural Greek word adelphoi (translated “brothers”) refers to siblings in a family. In New Testament usage, depending on the context, adelphoi may refer either to men or to both men and women who are siblings (brothers and sisters) in God’s family, the church} loved by God, ^othat he has chosen you,	εἰδότες, ἀδελφοὶ ἠγαπημένοι ὑπὸ ^{▼▼ θεοῦ = Treg RP: \|\| τοῦ θεοῦ = WH NA/NIV} θεοῦ, τὴν ἐκλογὴν ὑμῶν,
1Thess 1:5	because ^qour gospel came to you not only in word, but also in power and ^rin the Holy Spirit and with full ^sconviction. You know ^twhat kind of men we proved to be among you for your sake.	ὅτι τὸ εὐαγγέλιον ἡμῶν οὐκ ἐγενήθη εἰς ὑμᾶς ἐν λόγῳ μόνον ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐν δυνάμει καὶ ἐν πνεύματι ἁγίῳ ^{▼▼ καὶ = WH: \|\| καὶ ἐν = Treg NA/NIV RP} καὶ πληροφορίᾳ πολλῇ, καθὼς οἴδατε οἷοι ἐγενήθημεν ^{▼▼ ἐν = Treg NA/NIV RP: \|\| [omit] = WH} ἐν ὑμῖν δι᾽ ὑμᾶς·
1Thess 1:6	And ^wyou became imitators of us ^xand of the Lord, for ^yyou received the word in much affliction, ^zwith the ^aajoy of the Holy Spirit,	καὶ ὑμεῖς μιμηταὶ ἡμῶν ἐγενήθητε καὶ τοῦ κυρίου, δεξάμενοι τὸν λόγον ἐν θλίψει πολλῇ μετὰ χαρᾶς πνεύματος ἁγίου,
1Thess 1:7	so that you became an example to all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia.	ὥστε γενέσθαι ὑμᾶς ^{▼▼ τύπον = WH Treg NA/NIV: \|\| τύπους = RP} τύπον πᾶσιν τοῖς πιστεύουσιν ἐν τῇ Μακεδονίᾳ καὶ ^{▼▼ ἐν = WH Treg NA/NIV: \|\| [omit] = RP} ἐν τῇ Ἀχαΐᾳ.
1Thess 1:8	For not only has the word of the Lord ^adsounded forth from you in Macedonia and Achaia, but your faith in God has gone forth ^aeeverywhere, so that we need not say anything.	ἀφ᾽ ὑμῶν γὰρ ἐξήχηται ὁ λόγος τοῦ κυρίου οὐ μόνον ἐν τῇ Μακεδονίᾳ ^{▼▼ καὶ = WH Treg: \|\| καὶ ἐν τῇ = NA/NIV RP} καὶ Ἀχαΐᾳ, ^{▼▼ ἀλλ᾽ = WH Treg NA/NIV: \|\| ἀλλὰ καὶ = RP} ἀλλ᾽ ἐν παντὶ τόπῳ ἡ πίστις ὑμῶν ἡ πρὸς τὸν θεὸν ἐξελήλυθεν, ὥστε μὴ χρείαν ^{▼▼ ἔχειν ἡμᾶς = WH Treg NA/NIV: \|\| ἡμᾶς ἔχειν = RP} ἔχειν ἡμᾶς ⸃ λαλεῖν τι·
1Thess 1:9	For they themselves report concerning us the kind of ^aireception we had among you, and how ^ajyou turned to God ^akfrom idols to serve the living and ^altrue God,	αὐτοὶ γὰρ περὶ ἡμῶν ἀπαγγέλλουσιν ὁποίαν εἴσοδον ἔσχομεν πρὸς ὑμᾶς, καὶ πῶς ἐπεστρέψατε πρὸς τὸν θεὸν ἀπὸ τῶν εἰδώλων δουλεύειν θεῷ ζῶντι καὶ ἀληθινῷ,
1Thess 1:10	and ^amto wait for his Son ^anfrom heaven, ^aowhom he raised from the dead, Jesus ^apwho delivers us from ^aqthe wrath to come.	καὶ ἀναμένειν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ ἐκ τῶν οὐρανῶν, ὃν ἤγειρεν ἐκ τῶν νεκρῶν, Ἰησοῦν τὸν ῥυόμενον ἡμᾶς ^{▼▼ ἐκ = WH Treg NA/NIV: \|\| ἀπὸ = RP} ἐκ τῆς ὀργῆς τῆς ἐρχομένης.
