1 Thessalonians 1

1 Paul and Silvanus and Timothy—unto the assembly of Thessalonians in God our Father and Lord Jesus Christ, —favour unto you, and peace!

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 are giving thanks unto God continually, concerning you all, making, mention, in our prayers,

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

3 Unceasingly, remembering—your work of faith and labour of love and endurance of hope, of 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 Knowing, brethren beloved by God, your election, —

ειδοτεσ αδελφοι ηγαπημενοι υπο θεου την εκλογην υμων

5 How that, our glad-message, came not unto you, in word only, but also in power, and in Holy Spirit, and in much assurance, —even as ye know what manner of men we became unto 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 And, ye, became, imitators of us, and of the Lord, giving welcome unto the word, in much tribulation, with joy of Holy Spirit;

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

7 So that ye became an ensample unto all who were coming to the faith, in Macedonia and in Achaia:

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

8 From you, in fact, hath sounded forth the word of the Lord—not only in Macedonia and in Achaia, but, in every place, your faith which is toward God, hath gone forth, so that, no need, have we to be saying 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, concerning us, do tell—what manner of entrance we had unto you, and how ye turned unto God from the idols—to be serving 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 awaiting his Son out of the heavens—whom he raised from among the dead, —Jesus: Who is to rescue us out of the anger that is coming.

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