“1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the
Thessalonians [which is] in God the Father and [in] the Lord Jesus
Christ: Grace [be] unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and the
Lord Jesus Christ.”
“2 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in
our prayers; 3 Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and
labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the
sight of God and our Father; 4 Knowing, brethren beloved, your election
of God. 5 For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in
power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what
manner of men we were among you for your sake.”
“6 And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the
word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost: 7 So that ye were
ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia. 8 For from you
sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but
also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we
need not to speak any thing. 9 For they themselves shew of us what
manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from
idols to serve the living and true God; 10 And to wait for his Son from
heaven, whom he raised from the dead, [even] Jesus, which delivered us
from the wrath to come.” (1 Thessalonians 1:1-10 AV)
