1 Thessalonians 1

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

PAULOS, and Sylvanos, and Timotheos, to the church of the Thesalonikoyee which (is) in Aloha the Father, and in our Lord Jeshu Meshiha. Grace be with you and peace.

2 We always thank God for all of you, remembering you in our prayers

We give thanks to Aloha at all time for you all and are mindful of you in our prayers constantly,

3 and continually recalling before our God and Father your work of faith, your labor of love, and your enduring hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.

and remember before Aloha the Father the works of your faith, and the labour of your love, and the perseverance of your hope, which is in our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

4 Brothers who are beloved by God, we know that He has chosen you,

For we know your election, my brethren, beloved of Aloha,

5 because our gospel came to you not only in word, but also in power, in the Holy Spirit, and with great conviction—just as you know we lived among you for your sake.

because our preaching was not in words only with you, but with power, and with the Spirit of Holiness, and with the persuasion of truth. Also you know how we were among you, on account of you;

6 And you became imitators of us and of the Lord when you welcomed the message with the joy of the Holy Spirit, in spite of your great suffering.

and you became imitators of us and of our Lord, and you received the word in great affliction, and with the joy of the Spirit of Holiness,

7 As a result, you have become an example to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia.

and became an example to all the believers who are in Makedunia and in Akaia.

8 For not only did the message of the Lord ring out from you to Macedonia and Achaia, but your faith in God has gone out to every place, so that we have no need to say anything more.

For from you was made to be heard the word of our Lord, not only in Makedunia and in Akaia, but in every place your faith which is in Aloha was made to be heard, so that we have no need to say of you any thing.

9 For they themselves report what kind of welcome you gave us, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God

For they learned what an entrance we had unto you, and how you turned to Aloha, from the fear of idols, to worship Aloha the living and the true;

10 and to await His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead—Jesus our deliverer from the coming wrath.

awaiting his Son from heaven, Jeshu himself, whom he raised from among the dead, and who delivered us from the wrath that cometh.
