1 Thessalonians 1

1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the assembly of the Thessalonians which is in YHWH the Father and in the Master Yahushua the Messiah: favour be unto you, and peace, from YHWH our Father, and the Master Yahushua the Messiah.

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

3 Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Master Yahushua the Messiah, in the sight of YHWH and our Father;

4 Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of Elohim.

5 For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.

6 And ye became followers of us, and of the Master, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit:

7 So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.

8 For from you sounded out the word of the Master not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward YHWH is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing.

9 For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to YHWH from idols to serve the living and true Elohim;

10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Yahushua, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
