Return to Index

Chapter 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. 

 

 


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 labor of love and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father; 

 

 


4

 

 knowing, brethren beloved of God, your election, 

 

 


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. 

 

 


6

 

 And ye became imitators of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit; 

 

 


7

 

 so that ye became an ensample to all that believe in Macedonia and in Achaia. 

 

 


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. 

 

 


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, 

 

 


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. 

 

 


1st Thessalonians 2
