     Pauls First Letter to the Thessalonians
Chapter 1
1Paul, 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.
2We always give thanks to God for all of you, mentioning you in our prayers,
3remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father.
4We know, brothersa loved by God, that you are chosen,
5and that our Good News came to you not in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and with much assurance. Youb know what kind of men we showed ourselves to be among you for your sake.
6Youb became imitators of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit,
7so that youb became an example to all who believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.
8For 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.
9For they themselves report concerning us what kind of a reception we had from you; and how youb turned to God from idols, to serve a living and true God,
10and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead—Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come.
