Chapter 1
1:1 Paul, Silas, and Timothy, To the Assembly of the Thessalonians which is in Elohim the Father and in the Master YASHUWAH the Messiah: Grace to you and peace from Elohim our Father and the Master YASHUWAH the Messiah.
1st Thessalonians
1:2 We give thanks to Elohim always for you all, mentioning you in our prayers,
1:3 remembering without ceasing your work of faith, labor of love, and patient hope in our Master YASHUWAH the Messiah in the sight of Elohim and our Father.
1:4 For we know, beloved brothers, your election by Elohim.
1:5 For our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance, just as you know what kind of men we were among you for your sake.
1:6 You became followers of us and the Master, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit.
1:7 Therefore you were examples to all who believe in Macedonia and Achaia.
1:8 For the word of the Master sounded out from you not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith in Elohim has gone forth, so that we do not need to say anything.
1:9 For they themselves declare how we were received by you, and how you turned to Elohim from idols, to serve the living and true Elohim,
1:10 and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead ~ YASHUWAH, who delivered us from the wrath to come.
