Paul's First Letter to the Thessalonians, Chapter 1
{1:1} Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the assembly of the
Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah: Grace
to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
{1:2} We always give thanks to God for all of you, mentioning you in
our prayers, {1:3} remembering without ceasing your work of faith and
labor of love and patience of hope in our Lord Yeshua the Messiah,
before our God and Father. {1:4} We know, [1>]brothers[<1] loved by
God, that you are chosen, {1:5} and that our Good News came to you not
in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and with much
assurance. You know what kind of men we showed ourselves to be among
you for your sake. {1:6} You became imitators of us, and of the Lord,
having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy
Spirit, {1:7} so that you became an example to all who believe in
Macedonia and in Achaia. {1:8} For from you the word of the Lord has
been declared, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every
place your faith toward God has gone out; so that we need not to say
anything. {1:9} For they themselves report concerning us what kind of
a reception we had from you; and how you turned to God from idols, to
serve a living and true God, {1:10} and to wait for his Son from
heaven, whom he raised from the dead--Yeshua, who delivers us from the
wrath to come.
