1 Thessalonians 1

1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, unto the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace.

2 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention [of you] in our prayers;

vayaM sarvveSAM yuSmAkaM kRte IzvaraM dhanyaM vadAmaH prArthanAsamaye yuSmAkaM nAmoccArayAmaH,

3 remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;

asmAkaM tAtasyezvarasya sAkSAt prabhau yIzukhrISTe yuSmAkaM vizvAsena yat kAryyaM premnA yaH parizramaH pratyAzayA ca yA titikSA jAyate

4 knowing, brethren beloved of God, your election,

tat sarvvaM nirantaraM smarAmazca| he piyabhrAtaraH, yUyam IzvareNAbhirucitA lokA iti vayaM jAnImaH|

5 how that our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and [in] much assurance; even as ye know what manner of men we showed ourselves toward you for your sake.

yato'smAkaM susaMvAdaH kevalazabdena yuSmAn na pravizya zaktyA pavitreNAtmanA mahotsAhena ca yuSmAn prAvizat| vayantu yuSmAkaM kRte yuSmanmadhye kIdRzA abhavAma tad yuSmAbhi rjJAyate|

6 And ye became imitators of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit;

yUyamapi bahuklezabhogena pavitreNAtmanA dattenAnandena ca vAkyaM gRhItvAsmAkaM prabhozcAnugAmino'bhavata|

7 so that ye became an ensample to all that believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.

tena mAkidaniyAkhAyAdezayo ryAvanto vizvAsino lokAH santi yUyaM teSAM sarvveSAM nidarzanasvarUpA jAtAH|

8 For from you hath sounded forth the word of the Lord, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith to God-ward is gone forth; so that we need not to speak anything.

yato yuSmattaH pratinAditayA prabho rvANyA mAkidaniyAkhAyAdezau vyAptau kevalametannahi kintvIzvare yuSmAkaM yo vizvAsastasya vArttA sarvvatrAzrAvi, tasmAt tatra vAkyakathanam asmAkaM niSprayojanaM|

9 For they themselves report concerning us what manner of entering in we had unto you; and how ye turned unto God from idols, to serve a living and true God,

yato yuSmanmadhye vayaM kIdRzaM pravezaM prAptA yUyaJca kathaM pratimA vihAyezvaraM pratyAvarttadhvam amaraM satyamIzvaraM sevituM

10 and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, [even] Jesus, who delivereth us from the wrath to come.
