I THESSALONIANS ยท Chapter 1
1:1 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.
1:2 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you
in our prayers;
1:3 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;
1:4 Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.
1:5 For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also
in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance; as
all of you know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.
1:6 And all of you became followers of us, and of the Lord, having
received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit.
1:7 So that all of you were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia
and Achaia.
1:8 For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only
in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God
is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing.
1:9 For they themselves show of us what manner of entering in we had
unto you, and how all of you turned to God from idols to serve the living
and true God;
1:10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead,
even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
