1 Thessalonians 1

1 Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the congregation of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah: Grace to you and peace.

παυλος και σιλουανος και τιμοθεος τη εκκλησια θεσσαλονικεων εν θεω πατρι και κυριω ιησου χριστω χαρις υμιν και ειρηνη απο θεου πατρος ημων και κυριου ιησου χριστου

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

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

3 remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and patience of hope in our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, before 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 We know, brothers loved by God, that you are chosen,

ειδοτες αδελφοι ηγαπημενοι υπο θεου την εκλογην υμων

5 and that our Good News came to you not in word only, but also in power, and in the Ruach ha-Kodesh, and with much assurance. You know what kind of persons we showed ourselves to be among you for your sake.

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

6 You became imitators of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Ruach ha-Kodesh,

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

7 so that you became an example to all who believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.

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

8 For from you the word of the Lord has been declared, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God has gone out; so that we do not need to say anything.

αφ υμων γαρ εξηχηται ο λογος του κυριου ου μονον εν τη μακεδονια και αχαια αλλα και εν παντι τοπω η πιστις υμων η προς τον θεον εξεληλυθεν ωστε μη χρειαν ημας εχειν λαλειν τι

9 For they themselves report concerning us what kind of a reception we had from you; and how you turned to God from idols, to serve a living and true God,

αυτοι γαρ περι ημων απαγγελλουσιν οποιαν εισοδον {VAR1: εχομεν } {VAR2: 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, whom he raised from the dead—Yeshua, who delivers us from the wrath to come.

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