1 Thessalonians 1

Thanksgiving for These Believers

1

 aPaul and  bSilvanus and  cTimothy,

To the  dchurch of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:  eGrace to you and peace.

2

 aWe give thanks to God always for all of you,  bmaking mention of you in our prayers;

3

constantly bearing in mind your  awork of faith and labor of  blove and  1 csteadfastness of hope  2in our Lord Jesus Christ in the presence of  dour God and Father,

4

knowing,  abrethren beloved by God,  bHis choice of you;

5

for our  agospel did not come to you in word only, but also  bin power and in the Holy Spirit and with  cfull conviction; just as you know  dwhat kind of men we  1proved to be among you for your sake.

6

You also became  aimitators of us and of the Lord,  bhaving received  cthe word in much tribulation with the  djoy of the Holy Spirit,

7

so that you became an example to all the believers in  aMacedonia and in  bAchaia.

8

For  athe word of the Lord has  bsounded forth from you, not only in  cMacedonia and  dAchaia, but also  ein every place your faith toward God has gone forth, so that we have no need to say anything.

9

For they themselves report about us what kind of a  1 areception we had  2with you, and how you  bturned to God  cfrom  3idols to serve  4 da living and true God,

10

and to  await for His Son from  1heaven, whom He  braised from the dead, that is Jesus, who  crescues us from  dthe wrath to come.
