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