Προς Θεσσαλονικεις Α΄ 1

1 παυλος και σιλουανος και τιμοθεος τη εκκλησια θεσσαλονικεων εν θεω πατρι και κυριω ιησου χριστω χαρις υμιν και ειρηνη

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

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

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

3 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

remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labour of love and perseverance of hope in our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, before our God and Father.

4 ειδοτες αδελφοι ηγαπημενοι υπο [του] θεου την εκλογην υμων

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

5 οτι το ευαγγελιον ημων ουκ εγενηθη εις υμας εν λογω μονον αλλα και εν δυναμει και εν πνευματι αγιω και {VAR2: [εν] } πληροφορια πολλη καθως οιδατε οιοι εγενηθημεν {VAR2: [εν] } υμιν δι υμας

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 amongst you for your sake.

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

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

7 ωστε γενεσθαι υμας τυπον πασιν τοις πιστευουσιν εν τη μακεδονια και εν τη αχαια

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

8 αφ υμων γαρ εξηχηται ο λογος του κυριου ου μονον εν τη μακεδονια και {VAR2: [εν τη] } αχαια αλλ εν παντι τοπω η πιστις υμων η προς τον θεον εξεληλυθεν ωστε μη χρειαν εχειν ημας λαλειν τι

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

9 αυτοι γαρ περι ημων απαγγελλουσιν οποιαν εισοδον εσχομεν προς υμας και πως επεστρεψατε προς τον θεον απο των ειδωλων δουλευειν θεω ζωντι και αληθινω

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,

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

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