1TH 01:01 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.
1TH 01:02 We give thanks to God always for you all, making
mention of you in our prayers;
1TH 01:03 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;
1TH 01:04 Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.
1TH 01:05 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.
1TH 01:06 And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having
received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost:
1TH 01:07 So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in
Macedonia and Achaia.
1TH 01:08 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.
1TH 01:09 For they themselves show 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;
1TH 01:10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised
from the dead, [even] Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath
to come.
1TH 02:01 For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto
you, that it was not in vain:
1TH 02:02 But even after that we had suffered before, and were
shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in
our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention.
1TH 02:03 For our exhortation [was] not of deceit, nor of
uncleanness, nor in guile:
1TH 02:04 But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with
the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God,
which trieth our hearts.
1TH 02:05 For neither at any time used we flattering words, as
ye know, nor a cloak of covetousness; God [is] witness:
1TH 02:06 Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor [yet]
of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles
of Christ.
1TH 02:07 But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse
cherisheth her children:
1TH 02:08 So being affectionately desirous of you, we were
willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only,
but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us.
1TH 02:09 For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for
labouring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto
any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.
1TH 02:10 Ye [are] witnesses, and God [also], how holily and
justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that
believe:
1TH 02:11 As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged
every one of you, as a father [doth] his children,
1TH 02:12 That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you
unto his kingdom and glory.
1TH 02:13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing,
because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us,
ye received [it] not [as] the word of men, but as it is in truth,
the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that
believe.
1TH 02:14 For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of
God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have
suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they [have]
of the Jews:
1TH 02:15 Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets,
and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are
contrary to all men:
1TH 02:16 Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might
be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come
upon them to the uttermost.
1TH 02:17 But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short
time in presence, not in heart, endeavoured the more abundantly
to see your face with great desire.
1TH 02:18 Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul,
once and again; but Satan hindered us.
1TH 02:19 For what [is] our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing?
[Are] not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at
his coming?
1TH 02:20 For ye are our glory and joy.
1TH 03:01 Wherefore when we could no longer forbear, we thought
it good to be left at Athens alone;
1TH 03:02 And sent Timotheus, our brother, and minister of God,
and our fellowlabourer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you,
and to comfort you concerning your faith:
1TH 03:03 That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for
yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto.
1TH 03:04 For verily, when we were with you, we told you before
that we should suffer tribulation; even as it came to pass, and
ye know.
1TH 03:05 For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent
to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted
you, and our labour be in vain.
1TH 03:06 But now when Timotheus came from you unto us, and
brought us good tidings of your faith and charity, and that ye
have good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us,
as we also [to see] you:
1TH 03:07 Therefore, brethren, we were comforted over you in all
our affliction and distress by your faith:
1TH 03:08 For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord.
1TH 03:09 For what thanks can we render to God again for you,
for all the joy wherewith we joy for your sakes before our God;
1TH 03:10 Night and day praying exceedingly that we might see
your face, and might perfect that which is lacking in your faith?
1TH 03:11 Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus
Christ, direct our way unto you.
1TH 03:12 And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love
one toward another, and toward all [men], even as we [do] toward
you:
1TH 03:13 To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in
holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord
Jesus Christ with all his saints.
1TH 04:01 Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort
[you] by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye
ought to walk and to please God, [so] ye would abound more and
more.
1TH 04:02 For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord
Jesus.
1TH 04:03 For this is the will of God, [even] your
sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:
1TH 04:04 That every one of you should know how to possess his
vessel in sanctification and honour;
1TH 04:05 Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles
