Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, to the assembly of Thessalonians in God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to 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,
3 ⲅ̅ ⲉⲛⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲙⲡϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲡϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲙⲛ ⲑⲩⲡⲟⲙⲟⲛⲏ ⲛⲑⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲙⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲙⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲉⲓⲱⲧ
unceasingly remembering of you the work of the faith, and the labour of the love, and the endurance of the hope, of our Lord Jesus Christ, in the presence of our God and Father,
having known, brethren beloved, by God, your election,
5 ⲉ̅ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲙⲡϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲧⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϩⲛ ⲧⲕⲉϭⲟⲙ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲧⲱⲧ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲛⲁϣⲱϣ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ
because our good news did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance, even as ye have known of what sort we became among you because of you,
6 ⲋ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲧⲛⲧⲱⲛ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ⲉⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛϫⲓ ⲙⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲑⲗⲓⲯⲓⲥ ⲉⲛⲁϣⲱⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ
and ye — ye did become imitators of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much tribulation, with joy of the Holy Spirit,
so that ye became patterns to all those believing in Macedonia and Achaia,
8 ⲏ̅ ⲛⲧⲁ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϯⲥⲟⲉⲓⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ϩⲛ ⲧⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ ⲙⲙⲁⲧⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲁⲭⲁⲓⲁ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲉⲧϫⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲥⲣⲥⲟⲉⲓⲧ ϩⲛ ⲙⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲛⲧⲛⲧⲙⲣⲭⲣⲓⲁ ⲛϫⲉ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲁⲩ
for from you hath sounded forth the word of the Lord, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God did go forth, so that we have no need to say anything,
9 ⲑ̅ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲥⲉϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲛⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ϣⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲕⲉⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲓⲇⲱⲗⲟⲛ ⲉⲣϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲟⲛϩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲙⲉ
for they themselves concerning us do declare what entrance we had unto you, and how ye did turn unto God from the idols, to serve a living and true God,
10 ⲓ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϭⲱϣⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲏⲧϥ ⲙⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲙⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲁϩⲙⲉⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲟⲣⲅⲏ ⲉⲧⲛⲏⲩ
and to wait for His Son from the heavens, whom He did raise out of the dead — Jesus, who is rescuing us from the anger that is coming.
