1PaulG3972, and SilvanusG4610, and TimothyG5095, unto the churchG1577 of the ThessaloniansG2331 in GodG2316 the FatherG3962 and the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547: GraceG5485 to you and peaceG1515.

2We giveG2168 thanksG2168 to GodG2316 alwaysG3842 for you all, makingG4160 mentionG3417of youin our prayersG4335; 3rememberingG3421 without ceasing your workG2041 of faithG4102 and laborG2873 of loveG26 and patience of hopeG1680 in our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, before our GodG2316 and FatherG3962; 4knowing, brethren belovedG25 of GodG2316, your electionG1589, 5how that our gospelG2098 cameG1096 not unto you in wordG3056 onlyG3440, but alsoG2532 in powerG1411, and in the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, and in muchG4183 assuranceG4136; evenG2532 as ye know what manner of men we showed ourselves toward you for your sakeG1223. 6And ye becameG1096 imitatorsG3402 of us, and of the LordG2962, having receivedG1209 the wordG3056 in muchG4183 afflictionG2347, with joyG5479 of the HolyG40 SpiritG4151; 7so that ye becameG1096 an ensample to all that believeG4100 in MacedoniaG3109 and in AchaiaG882. 8For from you hath sounded forthG1831 the wordG3056 of the LordG2962, not onlyG3440 in MacedoniaG3109 and AchaiaG882, but in every placeG5117 your faithG4102 to God-ward is goneG1831 forthG1831; so that we needG5532 not to speakG2980 anythingG5100. 9For they themselves reportG518 concerningG4012 us what manner of entering in we had unto you; and howG4459 ye turnedG1994 unto GodG2316 from idolsG1497, to serveG1398 a livingG2198 and trueG228 GodG2316, 10and to wait for his SonG5207 from heavenG3772, whom he raisedG1453 from the deadG3498, evenG2532 JesusG2424, who delivereth us from the wrathG3709 to comeG2064.
