Thessalonians 1
1 2 3 4 5
1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus,
unto the church of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father and
in the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be unto you, and peace, from
God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2 We give thanks to God always for
you all, making mention of you in our prayers;
3 Remembering without ceasing your
work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus
Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;
4 Knowing, brethren beloved, your
election of God.
5 For our gospel came not unto you
in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much
assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.
6 And ye became followers of us, and
of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the
Holy Ghost:
7 So that ye were ensamples to all
that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.
8 For from you sounded out the word
of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your
faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any
thing.
9 For they
themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how
ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;
10 And to wait for his Son from
heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered
us from the wrath to come.
