1 Thessalonians 1

1 The Thessalonians are given to understand both how mindful of them Paul was at all times in thanksgiving, and prayer: 5 and also how well he was persuaded of the truth and sincerity of their faith, and conversion to God.

 1:1 ¶ Paul, 3972 and 2532 Silvanus, 4610 and 2532 Timotheus, 5095 unto the x3588 church 1577 of the Thessalonians 2331 [which is] in 1722 God 2316 the Father 3962 and 2532 [in] the Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ: 5547 Grace 5485 [be] unto you, 5213 and 2532 peace, 1515 from 575 God 2316 our 2257 Father, 3962 and 2532 the Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ. 5547

 1:2 We give thanks 2168 z5719 to God 2316 always 3842 for 4012 you 5216 all, 3956 making 4160 z5734 mention 3417 of you 5216 in 1909 our 2257 prayers; 4335

 1:3 Remembering 3421 z5723 without ceasing 89 your 5216 work 2041 of faith, 4102 and 2532 labour 2873 of love, 26 and 2532 patience 5281 of hope 1680 in our 2257 Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ, 5547 in the sight 1715 of God 2316 and 2532 our 2257 Father; 3962

 1:4 Knowing, 1492 z5761 brethren 80 beloved, 25 z5772 your 5216 election 1589 of 5259 God. 2316

 1:5 For 3754 our 2257 gospel 2098 came 1096 z5675 not 3756 unto 1519 you 5209 in 1722 word 3056 only, 3440 but 235 also 2532 in 1722 power, 1411 and 2532 in 1722 the Holy 40 Ghost, 4151 and 2532 in 1722 much 4183 assurance; 4136 as 2531 ye know 1492 z5758 what manner of men 3634 we were 1096 z5675 among 1722 you 5213 for y1223 your y5209 sake. x1223 x5209

 1:6 And 2532 ye 5210 became 1096 z5675 followers 3402 of us, 2257 and 2532 of the x3588 Lord, 2962 having received 1209 z5666 the x3588 word 3056 in 1722 much 4183 affliction, 2347 with 3326 joy 5479 of the Holy 40 Ghost: 4151

 1:7 So y5620 that x5620 ye 5209 were 1096 z5635 ensamples 5179 to all 3956 that believe 4100 z5723 in 1722 Macedonia 3109 and 2532 Achaia. 882

 1:8 For 1063 from 575 you 5216 sounded out 1837 z5769 the x3588 word 3056 of the x3588 Lord 2962 not 3756 only 3440 in 1722 Macedonia 3109 and 2532 Achaia, 882 but 235 also 2532 in 1722 every 3956 place 5117 your 5216 faith 4102 to 4314 God-ward 2316 is spread abroad; 1831 z5758 so y5620 that x5620 we 2248 need 5532 x2192 not 3361 y2192 z5721 to speak 2980 z5721 any thing. 5100

 1:9 For 1063 they y518 z0 x846 themselves y846 shew 518 z5719 of 4012 us 2257 what manner 3697 of entering in 1529 we had 2192 z5719 z5625 z5627 unto 4314 you, 5209 and 2532 how 4459 ye turned 1994 z5656 to 4314 God 2316 from 575 idols 1497 to serve 1398 z5721 the living 2198 z5723 and 2532 true 228 God; 2316

 1:10 And 2532 to wait for 362 z5721 his 846 Son 5207 from 1537 heaven, 3772 whom 3739 he raised 1453 z5656 from 1537 the dead, 3498 [even] Jesus, 2424 which y3588 delivered 4506 z5740 us 2248 from 575 the x3588 wrath 3709 to come. 2064 z5740
