CHAPTER 1 Paul's Greetings to the Thessalonians

1 Paul, and Silas, and Timothy, to the assembly of Thessalonians, in God the father, and in the Lord Jesus Christ. Favor to you, and peace from God our father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. 2 We give thanks to God at all times concerning all of you, [²mention ³of you ¹making] in our prayers; 3 continually remembering your work of the belief, and the toil of the love, and the endurance of the hope of our Lord Jesus Christ, before [²God ³and ⁴father ¹our]. 4 Knowing brethren, O ones being loved by God, of your selection, 5 that our good news did not take place in you in word only, but also in power, and in [²spirit ¹holy], and in [²full assurance ¹much]; as you know what we became among you for you. 6 And you [²imitators ³of us ¹became], and of the Lord, having received the word in [²affliction ¹much], with joy [²spirit ¹of holy], 7 so that you became models to all the ones believing in Macedonia and Achaia. 8 [²from ³you ¹For ⁸has resounded ⁴the ⁵word ⁶of the ⁷Lord], not only in Macedonia but in Achaia. But also in every place the belief of yours, the one towards God, has gone forth, so as [³no ⁴need ¹for us ²to have] to say anything. 9 For they themselves [²concerning ³us ¹report] as to like what introduction we had towards you, and how you turned to God from the idols, to serve [⁴God ¹a living ²and ³true], 10 and to await his son from out of the heavens, whom he raised from the dead -- Jesus, the one rescuing us from the [²wrath ¹coming].
