1 Thessalonians 1

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

παυλοσ και σιλουανοσ και τιμοθεοσ τη εκκλησια θεσσαλονικεων εν θεω πατρι και κυριω ιησου χριστω χαρισ υμιν και ειρηνη απο θεου πατροσ ημων και κυριου ιησου χριστου

2 We always give thanks to God for all of you, mentioning you in our prayers,

ευχαριστουμεν τω θεω παντοτε περι παντων υμων μνειαν υμων ποιουμενοι επι των προσευχων ημων

3 remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and perseverance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father.

αδιαλειπτωσ μνημονευοντεσ υμων του εργου τησ πιστεωσ και του κοπου τησ αγαπησ και τησ υπομονησ τησ ελπιδοσ του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου εμπροσθεν του θεου και πατροσ ημων

4 We know, brothers loved by God, that you are chosen,

ειδοτεσ αδελφοι ηγαπημενοι υπο θεου την εκλογην υμων

5 and that our Good News came to you not in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit and with much assurance. You know what kind of men we showed ourselves to be among you for your sake.

οτι το ευαγγελιον ημων ουκ εγενηθη εισ υμασ εν λογω μονον αλλα και εν δυναμει και εν πνευματι αγιω και εν πληροφορια πολλη καθωσ οιδατε οιοι εγενηθημεν εν υμιν δι υμασ

6 You became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit,

και υμεισ μιμηται ημων εγενηθητε και του κυριου δεξαμενοι τον λογον εν θλιψει πολλη μετα χαρασ πνευματοσ αγιου

7 so that you became an example to all who believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.

ωστε γενεσθαι υμασ τυπουσ πασιν τοισ πιστευουσιν εν τη μακεδονια και τη αχαια

8 For from you the word of the Lord has been declared, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God has gone out, so that we need not to say anything.

αφ υμων γαρ εξηχηται ο λογοσ του κυριου ου μονον εν τη μακεδονια και εν τη αχαια αλλα και εν παντι τοπω η πιστισ υμων η προσ τον θεον εξεληλυθεν ωστε μη χρειαν ημασ εχειν λαλειν τι

9 For they themselves report concerning us what kind of a reception we had from you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God,

αυτοι γαρ περι ημων απαγγελλουσιν οποιαν εισοδον εσχομεν προσ υμασ και πωσ επεστρεψατε προσ τον θεον απο των ειδωλων δουλευειν θεω ζωντι και αληθινω

10 and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead: Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come.

και αναμενειν τον υιον αυτου εκ των ουρανων ον ηγειρεν εκ των νεκρων ιησουν τον ρυομενον ημασ απο τησ οργησ τησ ερχομενησ
