1 Thessalonians 1

1 PAULOS, and Sylvanos, and Timotheos, to the church of the Thesalonikoyee which (is) in Aloha the Father, and in our Lord Jeshu Meshiha. Grace be with you and peace.

Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace to you and peace.

2 We give thanks to Aloha at all time for you all and are mindful of you in our prayers constantly,

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

3 and remember before Aloha the Father the works of your faith, and the labour of your love, and the perseverance of your hope, which is in our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

incessantly remembering your work of faith and labor of love and patience of hope of our Lord Jesus Christ, before God even our Father;

4 For we know your election, my brethren, beloved of Aloha,

knowing, brethren beloved of God, your election,

5 because our preaching was not in words only with you, but with power, and with the Spirit of Holiness, and with the persuasion of truth. Also you know how we were among you, on account of you;

because our gospel came not unto you in word only, but in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as you know what sort we were among you for your sakes.

6 and you became imitators of us and of our Lord, and you received the word in great affliction, and with the joy of the Spirit of Holiness,

And you became imitators of us, and the Lord, having received the word in much tribulation, with the joy of the Holy Ghost;

7 and became an example to all the believers who are in Makedunia and in Akaia.

so that you are an example to all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia.

8 For from you was made to be heard the word of our Lord, not only in Makedunia and in Akaia, but in every place your faith which is in Aloha was made to be heard, so that we have no need to say of you any thing.

For from you the word of the Lord echoed out, not only in Macedonia and in Achaia, but in every place your faith which is towards God has gone forth; so that we have no need to say any thing:

9 For they learned what an entrance we had unto you, and how you turned to Aloha, from the fear of idols, to worship Aloha the living and the true;

for they proclaim concerning what kind of reception we had unto you; and how you turned to God from the idols, to serve the true and the living God,

10 awaiting his Son from heaven, Jeshu himself, whom he raised from among the dead, and who delivered us from the wrath that cometh.

and to await his Son out of the heavens, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus the one delivering us from the wrath to come.
