1 Thessalonians 1

1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, to the assembly of Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!

Poul, and Siluan, and Tymothe, to the chirche of Tessalonicensis, in God the fadir,

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

and in the Lord Jhesu Crist, grace and pees to you. We doon thankyngis to God euere more for alle you, and we maken mynde of you in oure preyeris withouten ceessyng;

3 unceasingly remembering your work of faith, and the labor of the love, and the endurance of the hope, of our Lord Jesus Christ, in the presence of our God and Father,

hauynge mynde of the werk of youre feith, and trauel, and charite, and abyding of the hope of oure Lord Jhesu Crist, bifor God and oure fadir.

4 having known, beloved brothers, by God, your [divine] selection,

Ye louyde britheren of God, we witinge youre chesing;

5 because our good news did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance, even as you have known of what sort we became among you for your sake,

for oure gospel was not at you in word oneli, but also in vertu, and in the Hooli Goost, and in myche plente; as ye witen, whiche we weren among you for you;

6 and you became imitators of us and of the LORD, having received the word in much tribulation with joy of the Holy Spirit,

and ye ben maad foleweris of vs, and of the Lord, resseyuynge the word in myche tribulacioun, with ioye of the Hooli Goost;

7 so that you became patterns to all those believing in Macedonia and Achaia,

so that ye ben maad ensaumple to alle men that bileuen, in Macedonye and in Acaie.

8 for from you has sounded forth the word of the LORD, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God went forth, so that we have no need to say anything,

For of you the word of the Lord is pupplischid, not oneli in Macedonye and Acaie, but youre feith that is to God, in ech place is gon forth; so that it is not nede to vs to speke ony thing.

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

For thei schewen of you, what maner entre we hadden to you, and hou ye ben conuertid to God fro maumettis, to serue to the lyuynge God and veri; and to abide his sone fro heuenes,

10 and to wait for His Son from the heavens, whom He raised out of the dead—Jesus, who is rescuing us from the anger that is coming.

whom he reiside fro deth, the Lord Jhesu, that delyuerede us fro wraththe to comynge.
