1 Thessalonians 1
1 The Thessalonians are given to understand both how mindful of them Paul was at all times in thanksgiving, and prayer: 5 and also how well he was persuaded of the truth and sincerity of their faith, and conversion to God.
1:1
Paul 3972 and Silvanus 4610 and Timothy 5095, ¶ To the church 1577 of the Thessalonians 2331 in God 2316 the Father 3962 and the Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547: Grace 5485 to you and peace 1515.
1:2
¶ We give 2168 thanks 2168 to God 2316 always 3842 for all 3956 of you, making 4160 mention 3417 [of you] in our prayers 4335;
1:3
constantly 89 bearing 3421 in mind 3421 your work 2041 of faith 4102 and labor 2873 of love 26 and steadfastness 5281 of hope 1680 in our Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547 in the presence 1715 of our God 2316 and Father 3962,
1:4
knowing 3609a, brethren 80 beloved 25 by God 2316, [His] choice 1589 of you;
1:5
for our gospel 2098 did not come 1096 to you in word 3056 only 3440, but also 2532 in power 1411 and in the Holy 40 Spirit 4151 and with full 4183 conviction 4136; just 2531a as you know 3609a what 3634 kind 3634 of men 3634 we proved 1096 to be among 1722 you for your sake 1223.
1:6
You also 2532 became 1096 imitators 3402 of us and of the Lord 2962, having received 1209 the word 3056 in much 4183 tribulation 2347 with the joy 5479 of the Holy 40 Spirit 4151,
1:7
so 5620 that you became 1096 an example 5179b to all 3956 the believers 4100 in Macedonia 3109 and in Achaia 882.
1:8
For the word 3056 of the Lord 2962 has sounded 1837 forth 1837 from you, not only 3440 in Macedonia 3109 and Achaia 882, but also in every 3956 place 5117 your faith 4102 toward 4314 God 2316 has gone 1831 forth 1831, so 5620 that we have 2192 no 3361 need 5532 to say 2980 anything 5100.
1:9
For they themselves 846 report 518 about 4012 us what 3697 kind 3697 of a reception 1529 we had 2192 with you, and how 4459 you turned 1994 to God 2316 from idols 1497 to serve 1398 a living 2198 and true 228 God 2316,
1:10
and to wait 362 for His Son 5207 from heaven 3772, whom 3739 He raised 1453 from the dead 3498, [that is] Jesus 2424, who rescues 4506 us from the wrath 3709 to come 2064.
