1 Thessalonians 1

1 Paul and Silvanus and Timothy To the church of the Thessalonians in God [the] Father and in [the] Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace (from of God Father of us and Lord Jesus Christ. *K*)

2 We give thanks to God always concerning all of you mention (of you *k*) making in the prayers of us,

3 unceasingly remembering your work of faith and labor of love and the endurance of the hope of the Lord of us Jesus Christ before the God and Father of us;

4 knowing, brothers beloved by (*no*) God, the election of you;

5 because the gospel of us not came to you in word only but also in power and in [the] Spirit Holy and with full assurance much even as you know what we were among you on account of you;

6 And you yourselves imitators of us became and of the Lord having received the word in tribulation much with [the] joy of [the] Spirit Holy,

7 so as for to became you (an example *N(K)O*) to all the believing [ones] in Macedonia and (in *no*) Achaia.

8 From you for has sounded forth the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and (in *no*) Achaia, but (also *k*) in every place the faith of you toward God has gone abroad, so as for not need to have us to say anything.

9 They themselves for concerning us report what reception (we had *N(k)O*) from you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve [the] God living and true

10 and to await the Son of Him from the heavens, whom He raised out from the dead, Jesus who is delivering us (from *N(k)O*) the wrath which is coming.
