1 Thessalonians 1]

     ^1:1 Paul and Silvanus and Timothy to the congregation^* of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: grace to you^* and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

     ^1:2 We are always giving-thanks to God concerning all of you^*, making^* a remembrance of you^* in our prayers; ^1:3 constantly remembering your^* work of the faith, and labor of love^*, and of the endurance of the hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father, ^1:4 knowing beloved brethren your^* choice by God. ^1:5 You^*know because our good-news did not happen to you^* in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much full assurance; just-as you^* know what manner of men we became among you^*, because of you^*. ^1:6 And you^* became imitators of us and of the Lord, having accepted the word in much affliction with joy of the Holy Spirit; ^1:7 so-then for you^* to become examples to all who believe in Macedonia and in Achaia. ^1:8For^* the word of the Lord has been echoed forth from you^*, not only in Macedonia and in Achaia, but also in every place your^* faith toward God has gone forth; so-as for us to have no need to say anything. ^1:9 For^* they themselves are reporting concerning us, what sort of entrance we had toward you^*, and how you^* turned from idols to God, to serve^* a living and true God, ^1:10 and to await his Son Jesus from the heavens, whom he raised up from the dead; who rescues us from the coming wrath.
