Chapter 1

Your work of faith. You turned to God

10 verses

Key verse — 1 Thessalonians 1:9–10

You turned toward God from the idols, to slave to a living and true God and to await his Son out of the heavens, whom he raised out of the dead, Jesus, the one rescuing us out of the wrath, the coming one.

¹ Paul and Silvanus and Timothy to the church of Thessalonians in God Father and Lord Jesus Christ: grace to you and peace from God our Father and Lord Jesus Christ.

² We give-thanks to God always concerning all of you, making remembrance upon our prayers,

³ unceasingly remembering your work of the faith and labor of the love and remaining-under of the hope of our Lord Jesus Christ before our God and Father,

⁴ knowing, brothers having-been-loved by God, your choosing,

⁵ because our gospel did not come to be unto you in word only but also in power and in Holy Spirit and in much full-carrying, according as you know of what sort we became among you through you.

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

⁷ so as you to become types to all those believing in Macedonia and in Achaia.

⁸ For from you the word of the Lord has sounded-out not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith, the one toward God, has gone-out, so as for us not to have need to speak anything.

⁹ For they themselves report concerning us of what sort an entrance we had toward you, and how you turned toward God from the idols, to slave to a living and true God

¹⁰ and to await his Son out of the heavens, whom he raised out of the dead, Jesus, the one rescuing us out of the wrath, the coming one.
