- 1From Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
- 2We always thank God for all of you and mention you constantly in our prayers.
- 3Constantly remembering your work of faith, your labor of love, and your patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the presence of our God and Father;
- 4Knowing, beloved brothers and sisters, your being chosen by God.
- 5For our gospel came to you not in word only, but also in power, in the Holy Spirit, and with much assurance. You know what kind of men we were among you for your sake.
- 6You became imitators of us and of the Lord, receiving the word in much affliction, with joy from the Holy Spirit.
- 7So that you became examples to all who believe in Macedonia and Achaia.
- 8The word of the Lord rang out from you — not just in Macedonia and Achaia, but everywhere. News of your faith in God has spread so far that we don't even need to say anything about it.
- 9For they themselves tell others about the kind of reception we had among 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 delivered us from the wrath to come.
