1Thessalonians 1

1. Paul <3972>, and Silvanus <4610>, and Timotheus <5095>, unto

the church <1577> of the Thessalonians <2331> [which is] in God

<2316> the Father <3962> and [in] the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>

Christ <5547>: Grace <5485> [be] unto you, and peace <1515>,

from God <2316> our Father <3962>, and the Lord <2962> Jesus

<2424> Christ <5547>.

2. We give thanks <2168> to God <2316> always <3842> for you

all <3956>, making <4160> mention <3417> of you in our prayers

<4335>;

3 Remembering <3421> without <0089> ceasing <0089> your <5209>

work <2041> of faith <4102>, and labour <2873> of love <0026>,

and patience <5281> of hope <1680> in our Lord <2962> Jesus

<2424> Christ <5547>, in the sight <1715> of God <2316> and our

Father <3962>;

4 Knowing <1492>, brethren <0080> beloved <0025>, your <5216>

election <1589> of God <2316>.

5 For our gospel <2098> came <1096> not unto you in word

<3056> only <3440>, but also <2532> in power <1411>, and in the

Holy <0040> Ghost <4151>, and in much <4183> assurance <4136>;

as ye know <1492> what <3634> manner <3634> of men we were among

<1722> you for your <5209> sake.

6. And ye became <1096> followers <3402> of us, and of the Lord

<2962>, having received <1209> the word <3056> in much <4183>

affliction <2347>, with joy <5479> of the Holy <0040> Ghost

<4151>:

7 So <5620> that ye were ensamples <5179> to all <3956> that

believe <4100> in Macedonia <3109> and Achaia <0882>.

8 For from you sounded <1837> out the word <3056> of the Lord

<2962> not only <3440> in Macedonia <3109> and Achaia <0882>,

but also <2532> in every <3956> place <5117> your <5216> faith

<4102> to God-ward <2316> is spread <1831> abroad <1831>; so

<5620> that we need <5532> not to speak <2980> any <5100> thing.

9 For they themselves <0846> shew <0518> of us what <3697>

manner <3697> of entering <1529> in we had <2192> unto you, and

how <4459> ye turned <1994> to God <2316> from idols <1497> to

serve <1398> the living <2198> and true <0228> God <2316>;

10 And to wait <0362> for his Son <5207> from heaven <3772>,

whom <3739> he raised <1453> from the dead <3498>, [even] Jesus

<2424>, which <3588> delivered <4506> us from the wrath <3709>

to come <2064>.

1Thessalonians 2

1. For yourselves <0846>, brethren <0080>, know <1492> our

entrance <1529> in unto you, that it was not in vain <2756>:

2 But even <2532> after that we had suffered <4310> before

<4310>, and were shamefully <5195> entreated <5195>, as ye know

<1492>, at <1722> Philippi <5375>, we were bold <3955> in our

God <2316> to speak <2980> unto you the gospel <2098> of God

<2316> with much <4183> contention <0073>.

3 For our exhortation <3874> [was] not of deceit <4106>, nor

<3761> of uncleanness <0167>, nor <3777> in guile <1388>:

4 But as we were allowed <1381> of God <2316> to be put <4160>

in trust <4100> with the gospel <2098>, even so <3779> we speak

<2980>; not as pleasing <0700> men <0444>, but God <2316>, which

trieth <1381> our hearts <2588>.

5 For neither <3777> at <4218> any <4218> time <4218> used

<1722> we flattering <2850> words <3056>, as ye know <1492>, nor

<3777> a cloke <4392> of covetousness <4124>; God <2316> [is]

witness <3144>:

6 Nor <3777> of men <0444> sought <2212> we glory <1391>,

neither <3777> of you, nor <3777> [yet] of others <0243>, when

we might <1410> have been burdensome <0922>, as the apostles

<0652> of Christ <5547>.

7. But we were gentle <2261> among <3319> you, even as a nurse

<5162> cherisheth <2282> her children <5043>:

8 So <3779> being affectionately <2442> desirous <2442> of you,

we were willing <2106> to have imparted <3330> unto you, not

the gospel <2098> of God <2316> only <3440>, but also <2532> our

own <1438> souls <5590>, because <1360> ye were dear <0027> unto

us.

9 For ye remember <3421>, brethren <0080>, our labour <2873>

and travail <3449>: for labouring <2873> night <3571> and day

<2250>, because <4314> we would not be chargeable <1912> unto

any <5100> of you, we preached <2784> unto you the gospel <2098>

of God <2316>.

10 Ye [are] witnesses <3144>, and God <2316> [also <2532>],

how <5613> holily <3743> and justly <1346> and unblameably

<0274> we behaved <1096> ourselves among you that believe <4100>:

11 As ye know <1492> how <5613> we exhorted and comforted

<3888> and charged <3146> every <1538> one <1520> of you, as a

father <3962> [doth] his children <5043>,

12 That ye would walk <4043> worthy <0516> of God <2316>, who

<3588> hath called <2564> you unto his kingdom <0932> and glory

<1391>.

13. For this <5124> cause <1223> also <2532> thank <2168> we

God <2316> without <0089> ceasing <0089>, because <3754>, when

ye received <3880> the word <3056> of God <2316> which ye heard

<0189> of us, ye received <1209> [it] not [as] the word <3056>

of men <0444>, but as it is in truth <0230>, the word <3056> of

God <2316>, which <3739> effectually <1754> worketh <1754> also

<2532> in you that believe <4100>.

14 For ye, brethren <0080>, became <1096> followers <3402> of

the churches <1577> of God <2316> which <3588> in Judaea <2449>

are in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>: for ye also <2532> have

suffered <3958> like <5024> things of your <2398> own <2398>

countrymen <4853>, even <2532> as they [have] of the Jews <2453>:

15 Who <3588> both <2532> killed <0615> the Lord <2962> Jesus

<2424>, and their own <2398> prophets <4396>, and have

persecuted <1559> us; and they please <0700> not God <2316>, and

are contrary <1727> to all <3956> men <0444>:

16 Forbidding <2967> us to speak <2980> to the Gentiles <1484>

that they might be saved <4982>, to fill <0378> up their sins

<0266> alway <0104>: for the wrath <3709> is come <5348> upon

them to the uttermost <5056>.

17. But we, brethren <0080>, being taken <0642> from you for a

short <5610> time <2540> in presence <4383>, not in heart <2588>,

endeavoured <4704> the more <4056> abundantly <4056> to see

<1492> your <5216> face <4383> with great <4183> desire <1939>.

18 Wherefore <1352> we would <2309> have come <2064> unto you,

even <3303> I Paul <3972>, once <0530> and again <1364>; but

Satan <4567> hindered <1465> us.

19 For what <5101> [is] our hope <1680>, or <2228> joy <5479>,

or <2228> crown <4735> of rejoicing <2746>? [Are] not even

<2532> ye in the presence <1715> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>

Christ <5547> at <1722> his coming <3952>?

20 For ye are our glory <1391> and joy <5479>.

1Thessalonians 3

1. Wherefore <1352> when we could no <3371> longer <3371>

forbear <4722>, we thought <2106> it good <2106> to be left

<2641> at <1722> Athens <0116> alone <3441>;

2 And sent <3992> Timotheus <5095>, our brother <0080>, and

minister <1249> of God <2316>, and our fellowlabourer <4904> in

the gospel <2098> of Christ <5547>, to establish <4741> you, and

to comfort <3870> you concerning <4012> your <5216> faith <4102>:

3 That no <3367> man <3367> should be moved <4525> by these

<5025> afflictions <2347>: for yourselves <0846> know <1492>

that we are appointed <2749> thereunto <5124>.

4 For verily <2532>, when <3753> we were with you, we told

<4302> you before <4302> that we should <3195> suffer

tribulation <2346>; even <2532> as it came <1096> to pass, and

ye know <1492>.

5 For this <5124> cause <1223>, when I could no <3371> longer

<3371> forbear <4722>, I sent <0375> to know <1097> your <5216>

faith <4102>, lest <3381> by some <3381> means <4458> the

tempter <3985> have tempted <3985> you, and our labour <2873> be

in vain <2756>.

6. But now <0737> when Timotheus <5095> came <2064> from you

unto us, and brought <2097> us good <2097> tidings <2097> of

your <5216> faith <4102> and charity <0026>, and that ye have

<2192> good <0018> remembrance <3417> of us always <3842>,

desiring <1971> greatly <1971> to see <1492> us, as we also

<2532> [to see] you:

7 Therefore <5124>, brethren <0080>, we were comforted <3870>

over <1909> you in all <3956> our affliction <2347> and distress

<0318> by your <5216> faith <4102>:

8 For now <3568> we live <2198>, if <1437> ye stand <4739>

fast in the Lord <2962>.

9 For what <5101> thanks <2169> can <1410> we render <0467> to

God <2316> again <0467> for you, for all <3956> the joy <5479>

wherewith <3739> we joy <5463> for your <5209> sakes before

<1715> our God <2316>;

10 Night <3571> and day <2250> praying <1189> exceedingly

<4053> that we might see <1492> your <5216> face <4383>, and

might perfect <2675> that which is lacking <5303> in your <5216>

faith <4102>?

11. Now <1161> God <2316> himself <0846> and our Father <3962>,

and our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, direct <2720>

our way <3598> unto you.

12 And the Lord <2962> make <4121> you to increase <4121> and

abound <4052> in love <0026> one <0240> toward <1519> another

<0240>, and toward <1519> all <3956> [men], even <2532> as we

[do] toward <1519> you:

13 To the end <1519> he may stablish <4741> your <5216> hearts

<2588> unblameable <0299> in holiness <0042> before <1715> God

<2316>, even <2532> our Father <3962>, at <1722> the coming

<3952> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> with all

<3956> his saints <0040>.

1Thessalonians 4

1. Furthermore <3063> then <3767> we beseech <2065> you,

brethren <0080>, and exhort <3870> [you] by the Lord <2962>

Jesus <2424>, that as ye have received <3880> of us how <4459>

ye ought <1163> to walk <4043> and to please <0700> God <2316>,

[so] ye would abound <4052> more <3123> and more <3123>.

2 For ye know <1492> what <5101> commandments <3852> we gave

<1325> you by the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>.

3 For this <5124> is the will <2307> of God <2316>, [even]

your <5216> sanctification <0038>, that ye should abstain <0567>

from fornication <4202>:

4 That every <1538> one of you should know <1492> how to

possess <2932> his vessel <4632> in sanctification <0038> and

honour <5092>;

5 Not in the lust <3806> of concupiscence <1939>, even <2532>

as the Gentiles <1484> which <3588> know <1492> not God <2316>:

6 That no <3361> [man] go <5233> beyond <5233> and defraud

<4122> his brother <0080> in [any] matter <4229>: because <1360>

that the Lord <2962> [is] the avenger <1558> of all <3956> such

<5130>, as we also <2532> have forewarned <4277> you and

testified <1263>.

7 For God <2316> hath not called <2564> us unto uncleanness

<0167>, but unto holiness <0038>.

8 He therefore <5105> that despiseth <0114>, despiseth <0114>

not man <0444>, but God <2316>, who <3588> hath also <2532>

given <1325> unto us his holy <0040> Spirit <4151>.

9. But as touching <4012> brotherly <5360> love <5360> ye need

<5532> not that I write <1125> unto you: for ye yourselves

<0846> are taught <2312> of God <2312> to love <0025> one <0240>

another <0240>.

10 And indeed <1063> ye do <4160> it toward <1519> all <3956>

the brethren <0080> which <3588> are in all <3650> Macedonia

<3109>: but we beseech <3870> you, brethren <0080>, that ye

increase <4052> more <3123> and more <3123>;

11 And that ye study <5389> to be quiet <2270>, and to do

<4238> your <2398> own <2398> business <2398>, and to work

<2038> with your <2398> own <2398> hands <5495>, as we commanded

<3853> you;

12 That ye may walk <4043> honestly <2156> toward <4314> them

that are without <1854>, and [that] ye may have <2192> lack

<5332> of nothing <3367>.

13. But I would <2309> not have you to be ignorant <0050>,

brethren <0080>, concerning <4012> them which are asleep <2837>,

that ye sorrow <3076> not, even <2532> as others <3062> which

<3588> have <2192> no <3361> hope <1680>.

14 For if <1487> we believe <4100> that Jesus <2424> died

<0599> and rose <0450> again <0450>, even so <3779> them also

<2532> which sleep <2837> in Jesus <2424> will God <2316> bring

<0071> with him.

15 For this <5124> we say <3004> unto you by the word <3056>

of the Lord <2962>, that we which <3588> are alive <2198> [and]

remain <4035> unto the coming <3952> of the Lord <2962> shall

not prevent <5348> them which <3588> are asleep <2837>.

16 For the Lord <2962> himself <0846> shall descend <2597>

from heaven <3772> with a shout <2752>, with the voice <5456> of

the archangel <0743>, and with the trump <4536> of God <2316>:

and the dead <3498> in Christ <5547> shall rise <0450> first

<4412>:

17 Then <1899> we which <3588> are alive <2198> [and] remain

<4035> shall be caught <0726> up together <0260> with them in

the clouds <3507>, to meet <0529> the Lord <2962> in the air

<0109>: and so <3779> shall we ever <3842> be with the Lord

<2962>.

18 Wherefore <5620> comfort <3870> one <0240> another <0240>

with these <5125> words <3056>.

1Thessalonians 5

1. But of the times <2540> and the seasons <2540>, brethren

<0080>, ye have <2192> no <3756> need <5532> that I write <1125>

unto you.

2 For yourselves <0846> know <1492> perfectly <0199> that the

day <2250> of the Lord <2962> so <3779> cometh <2064> as a thief

<2812> in the night <3571>.

3 For when <3752> they shall say <3004>, Peace <1515> and

safety <0803>; then <5119> sudden <0160> destruction <3639>

cometh <2186> upon them, as travail <5604> upon a woman with

child <1064>; and they shall not escape <1628>.

4 But ye, brethren <0080>, are not in darkness <4655>, that

that day <2250> should overtake <2638> you as a thief <2812>.

5 Ye are all <3956> the children <5207> of light <5457>, and

the children <5207> of the day <2250>: we are not of the night

<3571>, nor <3761> of darkness <4655>.

6. Therefore <3767> let us not sleep <2518>, as [do] others

<3062>; but let us watch <1127> and be sober <3525>.

7 For they that sleep <2518> sleep <2518> in the night <3571>;

and they that be drunken <3184> are drunken <3184> in the night

<3571>.

8 But let us, who <3588> are of the day <2250>, be sober

<3525>, putting <1746> on <1746> the breastplate <2382> of faith

<4102> and love <0026>; and for an helmet <4030>, the hope

<1680> of salvation <4991>.

9 For God <2316> hath not appointed <5087> us to wrath <3709>,

but to obtain <4047> salvation <4991> by our Lord <2962> Jesus

<2424> Christ <5547>,

10 Who <3588> died <0599> for us, that, whether <1535> we wake

<1127> or <1535> sleep <2518>, we should live <2198> together

<0260> with him.

11. Wherefore <1352> comfort <3870> yourselves <0240> together

<0240>, and edify <3618> one <1520> another <1520>, even <2531>

as also <2532> ye do <4160>.

12 And we beseech <2065> you, brethren <0080>, to know <1492>

them which <3588> labour <2872> among <1722> you, and are over

<4291> you in the Lord <2962>, and admonish <3560> you;

13 And to esteem <2233> them very <5228> highly <4053> in love

<0026> for their work's <2041> sake. [And] be at <1722> peace

<1518> among <1722> yourselves <1438>.

14 Now <1161> we exhort <3870> you, brethren <0080>, warn

<3560> them that are unruly <0813>, comfort <3888> the

feebleminded <3642>, support <0472> the weak <0772>, be patient

<3114> toward <4314> all <3956> [men].

15 See <3708> that none <5100> render <0591> evil <2556> for

evil <2556> unto any <5100> [man]; but ever <3842> follow <1377>

that which <3588> is good <0018>, both <2532> among <1519>

yourselves <1438>, and to all <3956> [men].

16. Rejoice <5463> evermore <3842>.

17 Pray <4336> without <0089> ceasing <0089>.

18 In every <3956> thing give thanks <2168>: for this <5124>

is the will <2307> of God <2316> in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>

concerning <1519> you.

19 Quench <4570> not the Spirit <4151>.

20 Despise <1848> not prophesyings <4394>.

21 Prove <1381> all <3956> things; hold <2722> fast <2722>

that which <3588> is good <2570>.

22 Abstain <0567> from all <3956> appearance <1491> of evil

<4190>.

23. And the very <0846> God <2316> of peace <1515> sanctify

<0037> you wholly <3651>; and [I pray God] your <3588> whole

<3648> spirit <4151> and soul <5590> and body <4983> be

preserved <5083> blameless <0274> unto the coming <3952> of our

Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>.

24 Faithful <4103> [is] he that calleth <2564> you, who <3739>

also <2532> will do <4160> [it].

25 Brethren <0080>, pray <4336> for us.

26 Greet <0782> all <3956> the brethren <0080> with an holy
