1 Thessalonians 1

1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, unto the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: 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 give thanks to God always for you all, making mention [of 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 labour of love and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, 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 knowing, brethren beloved of God, your election,

ειδοτεσ αδελφοι ηγαπημενοι υπο θεου την εκλογην υμων

5 how that our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and [in] much assurance; even as ye know what manner of men we shewed ourselves toward 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 And ye became imitators of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost;

και υμεισ μιμηται ημων εγενηθητε και του κυριου δεξαμενοι τον λογον εν θλιψει πολλη μετα χαρασ πνευματοσ αγιου

7 so that ye became an ensample to all that believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.

ωστε γενεσθαι υμασ τυπουσ πασιν τοισ πιστευουσιν εν τη μακεδονια και τη αχαια

8 For from you hath sounded forth the word of the Lord, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith to God-ward is gone forth; so that we need not to speak anything.

αφ υμων γαρ εξηχηται ο λογοσ του κυριου ου μονον εν τη μακεδονια και εν τη 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 manner of entering in we had unto you; and how ye turned unto God from idols, to serve a living and true God,

αυτοι γαρ περι ημων απαγγελλουσιν οποιαν εισοδον 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, [even] Jesus, which delivereth us from the wrath to come.

και αναμενειν τον υιον αυτου εκ των ουρανων ον ηγειρεν εκ των νεκρων ιησουν τον ρυομενον ημασ απο τησ οργησ τησ ερχομενησ
