1 Thessalonians 1

1 Paul and Silvanus and Timothy To the church of the Thessalonians in God [the] Father and in [the] Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace (from of God Father of us and Lord Jesus Christ. *K)

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 give thanks to God always concerning all of you mention (of you *k) making in the prayers of us,

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

3 unceasingly remembering your work of faith and labor of love and the endurance of the hope of the Lord of us Jesus Christ before the God and Father of us;

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, brothers beloved by God, the election of you;

ειδοτες αδελφοι ηγαπημενοι υπο θεου την εκλογην υμων

5 because the gospel of us not came to you in word only but also in power and in [the] Spirit Holy and with full assurance much even as you know what we were among you on account of you;

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 you yourselves imitators of us became and of the Lord having received the word in tribulation much with [the] joy of [the] Spirit Holy,

και υμεις μιμηται ημων εγενηθητε και του κυριου δεξαμενοι τον λογον εν θλιψει πολλη μετα χαρας πνευματος αγιου

7 so as for to became you (an example *N+KO) to all the believing [ones] in Macedonia and (in *no) Achaia.

ωστε γενεσθαι υμας τυπους πασιν τοις πιστευουσιν εν τη μακεδονια και τη αχαια

8 From you for has sounded forth the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and (in *no) Achaia, but (also *k) in every place the faith of you toward God has gone abroad, so as for not need to have us to say anything.

αφ υμων γαρ εξηχηται ο λογος του κυριου ου μονον εν τη μακεδονια και αχαια αλλα και εν παντι τοπω η πιστις υμων η προς τον θεον εξεληλυθεν ωστε μη χρειαν ημας εχειν λαλειν τι

9 They themselves for concerning us report what reception (we had *N+kO) from you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve [the] God living and true

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 await the Son of Him from the heavens, whom He raised out from the dead, Jesus who is delivering us (from *N+kO) the wrath which is coming.

και αναμενειν τον υιον αυτου εκ των ουρανων ον ηγειρεν εκ νεκρων ιησουν τον ρυομενον ημας απο της οργης της ερχομενης
