Your work of faith
Paul, Silvanus and Timotheus, to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ: grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. We thank God for all of you always, and mention you in our prayers, remembering without a break your work that comes of faith, your labour that comes of love, and your staying power that comes of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in God's eyes our Father. We know, brothers loved by God, that he has chosen you. Because our gospel didn't come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance. You know the sort of men we were among you for your sake. And you followed our lead, and the Lord's, taking the word on board in a lot of trouble, with the joy of the Holy Spirit. So you became an example to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia. Because from you the word of the Lord has rung out, and not only in Macedonia and Achaia — your faith in God has got round everywhere, so we don't need to say a thing. People tell us themselves what sort of welcome we had among you, and how you turned to God from idols, to serve the living and true God, and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead — Jesus, who delivered us from the anger to come.
Paul and Silvanus and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. We give thanks to God always for you all, mentioning you in our prayers. Remembering without stopping your work of faith and labour of love and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father. Knowing, brothers beloved, your choosing of God. Because our good news didn't come to you in word only but in power too and in the Holy Spirit and in much sureness — the way you know what kind of men we were among you for your sake. And you turned followers of us and of the Lord, having taken the word in plenty of trouble with joy of the Holy Spirit. So you were examples to all who believe in Macedonia and Achaia. Because from you the word of the Lord sounded out, not only in Macedonia and Achaia but in every place too your faith towards God has gone out, so we don't need to say anything. Because they themselves show of us what kind of coming in we had to you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God. And to wait for his Son from heaven, who he raised from the dead, that is, Jesus, who rescued us from the anger to come.
Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God. For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake. And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost: So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia. For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing. For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God; And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
