Greeting
1Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy,
To the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:
Grace to you and peace 1:1 NU omits from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christfrom God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Their Good Example
2We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers,
3remembering without ceasing your work of faith, labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father,
4knowing, beloved brethren, your election by God.
5For our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit and in much assurance, as you know what kind of men we were among you for your sake.
6And you became followers of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit,
7so that you became examples to all in Macedonia and Achaia who believe.
8For from you the word of the Lord has sounded forth, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place. Your faith toward God has gone out, so that we do not need to say anything.
9For they themselves declare concerning us what manner of entry we had to you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God,
10and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come.
