\subsection{I Thessalonians 1}
|
|
\VS{1} Paul and Silas and Timothy to the assembly\fnEkklhsia{} of [the] Thessalonians in God [the] father and [the] Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace.
|
|
|
|
\VS{2} I thank God always concerning you all, making mention [of you] in my prayers,
|
|
constantly
|
|
\VS{3} remembering your work of faith and labor of agape-love and
|
|
endurance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ before our God and father,
|
|
\VS{4} having known, brothers agape-beloved by God, your selection by[ God],
|
|
\VS{5} for our good-news did not come to you in word only, but also in ability and in
|
|
[the] Holy Spirit and in great certainty, just as you know what sort we came to
|
|
be among you because [of you].
|
|
\VS{6} And you became imitators of us and of the
|
|
Lord, having received the word in much distress with [the] joy of [the] Holy Spirit,
|
|
\VS{7} so that you became [a] pattern to all those believing in Macedonia and
|
|
Achaia.
|
|
\VS{8} For from you sounded forth the word of the Lord not only in
|
|
Macedonia and in Achaia, but to every place your faith towards God went out,
|
|
so that we were having no need to be speaking anything,
|
|
\VS{9} for they
|
|
themselves report concerning you what sort of entrance we had to you, and how you turned
|
|
towards God from the idols to be slaving to [the] zoe-living\fnZoe{} and true God,
|
|
\VS{10} and to be awaiting his son from the heavens, who arose from the
|
|
dead, Jesus the [one] delivering us from the coming wrath.
