1 Thessalonians 1
1 Pavl, and Siluanus, and Timotheus, vnto the Church of the Thessalonians, which is in God the Father, and in the Lord Iesus Christ: Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ.
Paulus og Silvanus og Timotheus til Thessalonikernes Menighed i Gud Fader og den Herre Jesus Kristus. Naade være med eder og Fred!
2 We giue God thankes alwayes for you all, making mention of you in our prayers
Vi takke Gud altid for eder alle, naar vi komme eder i Hu i vore Bønner,
3 Without ceasing, remembring your effectuall faith, and diligent loue, and the patience of your hope in our Lord Iesus Christ, in the sight of God euen our Father,
idet vi uafladelig mindes eders Gerning i Troen og eders Arbejde i Kærligheden og eders Udholdenhed i Haabet paa vor Herre Jesus Kristus for vor Guds og Faders Aasyn,
4 Knowing, beloued brethren, that ye are elect of God.
efterdi vi kende eders Udvælgelse, I af Gud elskede Brødre,
5 For our Gospell was not vnto you in worde only, but also in power, and in the holy Ghost, and in much assurance, as ye know after what maner we were among you for your sakes.
at vort Evangelium ikke kom til eder i Ord alene, men ogsaa i Kraft og i den Helligaand og i fuld Overbevisning, som I jo vide, hvorledes vi færdedes iblandt eder for eders Skyld.
6 And ye became followers of vs, and of the Lord, and receiued the worde in much affliction, with ioy of the holy Ghost,
Og I ere blevne vore Efterfølgere, ja, Herrens, idet I modtoge Ordet under megen Trængsel med Glæde i den Helligaand,
7 So that ye were as ensamples to all that beleeue in Macedonia and in Achaia.
saa at I ere blevne et Forbillede for alle de troende i Makedonien og Akaja;
8 For from you sounded out the worde of the Lord, not in Macedonia and in Achaia only: but your faith also which is toward God, spred abroad in all quarters, that we neede not to speake any thing.
thi fra eder har Herrens Ord lydt ud, ikke alene i Makedonien og Akaja, men alle Vegne er eders Tro paa Gud kommen ud, saa at vi ikke have nødig at tale derom.
9 For they themselues shew of vs what maner of entring in we had vnto you, and how ye turned to God from idoles, to serue the liuing and true God,
Thi de forkynde selv om os, hvordan en Indgang vi vandt hos eder, og hvorledes I vendte om til Gud fra Afguderne for at tjene den levende og sande Gud
10 And to looke for his sonne from heauen, whome he raised from the dead, euen Iesus which deliuereth vs from that wrath to come.
og vente paa hans Søn fra Himlene, hvem han oprejste fra de døde, Jesus, som frier os fra den kommende Vrede.
