1 Thessalonians 1:8

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,

1 Thessalonians 1:9

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,

1 Thessalonians 2:1

1 You know, brothers and sisters, that our visit to you was not without results.

1 Thessalonians 2:3

3 For the appeal we make does not spring from error or impure motives, nor are we trying to trick you.

1 Thessalonians 2:5

5 You know we never used flattery, nor did we put on a mask to cover up greed—God is our witness.

1 Thessalonians 2:9

9 Surely you remember, brothers and sisters, our toil and hardship; we worked night and day in order not to be a burden to anyone while we preached the gospel of God to you.

1 Thessalonians 2:14

14 For you, brothers and sisters, became imitators of God’s churches in Judea, which are in Christ Jesus: You suffered from your own people the same things those churches suffered from the Jews

1 Thessalonians 2:19

19 For what is our hope, our joy, or the crown in which we will glory in the presence of our Lord Jesus when he comes? Is it not you?

1 Thessalonians 2:20

20 Indeed, you are our glory and joy.

1 Thessalonians 3:3

3 so that no one would be unsettled by these trials. For you know quite well that we are destined for them.

1 Thessalonians 3:4

4 In fact, when we were with you, we kept telling you that we would be persecuted. And it turned out that way, as you well know.

1 Thessalonians 3:9

9 How can we thank God enough for you in return for all the joy we have in the presence of our God because of you?

1 Thessalonians 4:2

2 For you know what instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus.

1 Thessalonians 4:3

3 It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality;

1 Thessalonians 4:7

7 For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life.

1 Thessalonians 4:9

9 Now about your love for one another we do not need to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love each other.

1 Thessalonians 4:10

10 And in fact, you do love all of God’s family throughout Macedonia. Yet we urge you, brothers and sisters, to do so more and more,

1 Thessalonians 4:14

14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.

1 Thessalonians 4:15

15 According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.

1 Thessalonians 5:2

2 for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

1 Thessalonians 5:3

3 While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

1 Thessalonians 5:7

7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night.

1 Thessalonians 5:18

18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
