[1] Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the assembly of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:ⓘ Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. [2] We always give thanks to God for all of you, mentioning you in our prayers, [3] remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and perseverance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father. [4] We know, brothers§ loved by God, that you are chosen, [5] and that our Good News came to you not in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit and with much assurance. You know what kind of men we showed ourselves to be among you for your sake. [6] You became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit, [7] so that you became an example to all who believe in Macedonia and in Achaia. [8] For from you the word of the Lord has been declared, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God has gone out, so that we need not say anything. [9] For they themselves report concerning us what kind of a reception we had from you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God, [10] and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead: Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come.

[1] Paul, G3972 and G2532 Silvanus, G4610 and G2532 Timotheus, G5095 unto the G3588 church G1577 of the Thessalonians G2331 which is in G1722 God G2316 the Father G3962 and G2532 in the Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ: G5547 Grace G5485 be unto you, G5213 and G2532 peace, G1515 from G575 God G2316 our G2257 Father, G3962 and G2532 the Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ.

Their Work of Faith

[2] We give thanks G2168 to God G2316 always G3842 for G4012 you G5216 all, G3956 making G4160 mention G3417 of you G5216 in G1909 our G2257 prayers; G4335 [3] remembering G3421 without ceasing G89 your G5216 work G2041 of faith, G4102 and G2532 labour G2873 of love, G26 and G2532 patience G5281 of hope G1680 in our G2257 Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 in the sight G1715 of God G2316 and G2532 our G2257 Father; G3962 [4] knowing, G1492 brethren G80 beloved, G25 your G5216 election G1589 of G5259 God. G2316§ [5] For G3754 our G2257 gospel G2098 came G1096 not G3756 unto G1519 you G5209 in G1722 word G3056 only, G3440 but G235 also G2532 in G1722 power, G1411 and G2532 in G1722 the Holy G40 Ghost, G4151 and G2532 in G1722 much G4183 assurance; G4136 as G2531 ye know G1492 what manner of men G3634 we were G1096 among G1722 you G5213 for G1223 your G5209 sake. G1223 [6] And G2532 ye G5210 became G1096 followers G3402 of us, G2257 and G2532 of the G3588 Lord, G2962 having received G1209 the G3588 word G3056 in G1722 much G4183 affliction, G2347 with G3326 joy G5479 of the Holy G40 Ghost: G4151 [7] so that G5620 ye G5209 were G1096 ensamples G5179 to all G3956 that G3588 believe G4100 in G1722 Macedonia G3109 and G2532 Achaia. G882 [8] For G1063 from G575 you G5216 sounded out G1837 the G3588 word G3056 of the G3588 Lord G2962 not G3756 only G3440 in G1722 Macedonia G3109 and G2532 Achaia, G882 but G235 also G2532 in G1722 every G3956 place G5117 your G5216 faith G4102 to G4314 God-ward G2316 is spread abroad; G1831 so that G5620 we G2248 need G5532 G2192 not G3361 to speak G2980 any thing. G5100 [9] For G1063 they themselves G846 shew G518 of G4012 us G2257 what manner G3697 of entering in G1529 we had G2192 unto G4314 you, G5209 and G2532 how G4459 ye turned G1994 to G4314 God G2316 from G575 idols G1497 to serve G1398 the living G2198 and G2532 true G228 God; G2316 [10] and G2532 to wait for G362 his G846 Son G5207 from G1537 heaven, G3772 whom G3739 he raised G1453 from G1537 the dead, G3498 even Jesus, G2424 which G3588 delivered G4506 us G2248 from G575 the G3588 wrath G3709 to come.
