Paul,
and
Silvanus,
and
Timotheus,
unto
the
church
of
the
Thessalonians
[which
is]
in
God
the
Father
and
[in]
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ:
Grace
[be]
unto
you,
and
peace,
from
God
our
Father,
and
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ.
2
We
give
thanks
to
God
always
for
you
all,
making
mention
of
you
in
our
prayers;
3
Remembering
without
ceasing
your
work
of
faith,
and
labour
of
love,
and
patience
of
hope
in
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
in
the
sight
of
God
and
our
Father;
4
Knowing,
brethren
beloved,
your
election
of
God.
5
For
our
gospel
came
not
unto
you
in
word
only,
but
also
in
power,
and
in
the
Holy
Ghost,
and
in
much
assurance;
as
ye
know
what
manner
of
men
we
were
among
you
for
your
sake.
6
And
ye
became
followers
of
us,
and
of
the
Lord,
having
received
the
word
in
much
affliction,
with
joy
of
the
Holy
Ghost:
7
So
that
ye
were
ensamples
to
all
that
believe
in
Macedonia
and
Achaia.
8
For
from
you
sounded
out
the
word
of
the
Lord
not
only
in
Macedonia
and
Achaia,
but
also
in
every
place
your
faith
to
God–ward
is
spread
abroad;
so
that
we
need
not
to
speak
any
thing.
9
For
they
themselves
shew
of
us
what
manner
of
entering
in
we
had
unto
you,
and
how
ye
turned
to
God
from
idols
to
serve
the
living
and
true
God;
10
And
to
wait
for
his
Son
from
heaven,
whom
he
raised
from
the
dead,
[even]
Jesus,
which
delivered
us
from
the
wrath
to
come.
