1 Thessalonians 1

1 Paul and Sylvanus and Timothy to the church of the Thessalonians, which is 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.

παυλος και σιλουανος και τιμοθεος τη εκκλησια θεσσαλονικεων εν θεω πατρι και κυριω ιησου χριστω χαρις υμιν και ειρηνη

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

ευχαριστουμεν τω θεω παντοτε περι παντων υμων μνειαν ποιουμενοι επι των προσευχων ημων

3 remembering unceasingly your work, which is the result of faith, your labor, the cause of which is love, and your patience, which springs from your hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of our God and Father:

αδιαλειπτως μνημονευοντες υμων του εργου της πιστεως και του κοπου της αγαπης και της υπομονης της ελπιδος του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου εμπροσθεν του θεου και πατρος ημων

4 because we know, brethren beloved of God, your election.

ειδοτες αδελφοι ηγαπημενοι υπο [του] θεου την εκλογην υμων

5 For our gospel came not to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in full assurance, as you know what sort of persons we were among you for your sakes.

οτι το ευαγγελιον ημων ουκ εγενηθη εις υμας εν λογω μονον αλλα και εν δυναμει και εν πνευματι αγιω και {VAR2: [εν] } πληροφορια πολλη καθως οιδατε οιοι εγενηθημεν {VAR2: [εν] } υμιν δι υμας

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

και υμεις μιμηται ημων εγενηθητε και του κυριου δεξαμενοι τον λογον εν θλιψει πολλη μετα χαρας πνευματος αγιου

7 so that you were examples to all that believe, in Macedonia and Achaia.

ωστε γενεσθαι υμας τυπον πασιν τοις πιστευουσιν εν τη μακεδονια και εν τη αχαια

8 For from you, the word of the Lord sounded out, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also your faith in God has gone abroad in every place, so that we have no need to speak any thing.

αφ υμων γαρ εξηχηται ο λογος του κυριου ου μονον εν τη μακεδονια και {VAR2: [εν τη] } αχαια αλλ εν παντι τοπω η πιστις υμων η προς τον θεον εξεληλυθεν ωστε μη χρειαν εχειν ημας λαλειν τι

9 For they themselves declare concerning us what kind of entrance we had to you, and how you turned to God from idols, to serve the living and true God,

αυτοι γαρ περι ημων απαγγελλουσιν οποιαν εισοδον εσχομεν προς υμας και πως επεστρεψατε προς τον θεον απο των ειδωλων δουλευειν θεω ζωντι και αληθινω

10 and to wait for his Son from heaven, even Jesus, whom he raised from the dead, and who delivers us from the coming wrath.

και αναμενειν τον υιον αυτου εκ των ουρανων ον ηγειρεν εκ [των] νεκρων ιησουν τον ρυομενον ημας εκ της οργης της ερχομενης
