Revised Standard Version RSV
The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 Paul, Silva'nus, and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalo'nians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace.
1
Paulus et Silvanus et Timotheus ecclesiae Thessalonicensium in Deo Patre et Domino Iesu Christo gratia vobis et pax
2 We give thanks to God always for you all, constantly mentioning you in our prayers,
2
gratias agimus Deo semper pro omnibus vobis memoriam facientes in orationibus nostris sine intermissione
3 remembering before our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.
3
memores operis fidei vestrae et laboris et caritatis et sustinentiae spei Domini nostri Iesu Christi ante Deum et Patrem nostrum
4 For we know, brethren beloved by God, that he has chosen you;
4
scientes fratres dilecti a Deo electionem vestram
5 for our gospel came to you not only in word, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction. You know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your sake.
5
quia evangelium nostrum non fuit ad vos in sermone tantum sed et in virtute et in Spiritu Sancto et in plenitudine multa sicut scitis quales fuerimus vobis propter vos
6 And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you received the word in much affliction, with joy inspired by the Holy Spirit;
6
et vos imitatores nostri facti estis et Domini excipientes verbum in tribulatione multa cum gaudio Spiritus Sancti
7 so that you became an example to all the believers in Macedo'nia and in Acha'ia.
7
ita ut facti sitis forma omnibus credentibus in Macedonia et in Achaia
8 For not only has the word of the Lord sounded forth from you in Macedo'nia and Acha'ia, but your faith in God has gone forth everywhere, so that we need not say anything.
8
a vobis enim diffamatus est sermo Domini non solum in Macedonia et in Achaia sed in omni loco fides vestra quae est ad Deum profecta est ita ut non sit nobis necesse quicquam loqui
9 For they themselves report concerning us what a welcome we had among you, and how you turned to God from idols, to serve a living and true God,
9
ipsi enim de nobis adnuntiant qualem introitum habuerimus ad vos et quomodo conversi estis ad Deum a simulacris servire Deo vivo et vero
10 and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come.
10
et expectare Filium eius de caelis quem suscitavit ex mortuis Iesum qui eripuit nos ab ira ventura
