1 Thessalonians 1

Jubilee Bible 2000 JUB

1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, unto the <em>congregation</em> {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones} of the Thessalonians <em>congregated</em> in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace <em>be</em> 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 the work of your faith and labour and charity and of waiting with the hope of our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father,

4 being certain, beloved brethren, that you are chosen of God.

5 For our gospel did not come unto you in word only, but also in power and in <em>the</em> Holy Spirit and in full assurance as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.

6 And ye were made imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word with much tribulation, with joy of the Holy Spirit:

7 So that ye have become examples to all that have believed in Macedonia and Achaia.

8 For through you the word of the Lord has been divulged not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith, which is in God, has become extended, so that we have no need to say anything.

9 For they themselves tell of us what an entrance we had unto you and in what manner ye were converted to God from idols to serve the living and true God

10 and to wait for his Son from the heavens, whom he raised from the dead, <em>even</em> Jesus, who delivered us from the wrath to come.

New International Version NIV

1 Paul, Silas and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace and peace to you.

2 We always thank God for all of you and continually mention you in our prayers.

3 We remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.

4 For we know, brothers and sisters loved by God, that he has chosen you,

5 because our gospel came to you not simply with words but also with power, with the Holy Spirit and deep conviction. You know how we lived among you for your sake.

6 You became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you welcomed the message in the midst of severe suffering with the joy given by the Holy Spirit.

7 And so you became a model to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia.

8 The Lord’s message rang out from you not only in Macedonia and Achaia—your faith in God has become known everywhere. Therefore we do not need to say anything about it,

9 for they themselves report what kind of reception you gave us. They tell how you 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—Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath.
