1 Thessalonians 1

1 Paul and Sylvanus and Timothy: to the church of the Thessalonians, in God the Father, and in the Lord Jesus Christ.

παυλοσ και σιλουανοσ και τιμοθεοσ τη εκκλησια θεσσαλονικεων εν θεω πατρι και κυριω ιησου χριστω χαρισ υμιν και ειρηνη απο θεου πατροσ ημων και κυριου ιησου χριστου

2 Grace be to you and peace. We give thanks to God always for you all; making a remembrance of you in our prayers without ceasing,

ευχαριστουμεν τω θεω παντοτε περι παντων υμων μνειαν υμων ποιουμενοι επι των προσευχων ημων

3 Being mindful of the work of your faith, and labour, and charity, and of the enduring of the hope of our Lord Jesus Christ before God and our Father:

αδιαλειπτωσ μνημονευοντεσ υμων του εργου τησ πιστεωσ και του κοπου τησ αγαπησ και τησ υπομονησ τησ ελπιδοσ του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου εμπροσθεν του θεου και πατροσ ημων

4 Knowing, brethren beloved of God, your election:

ειδοτεσ αδελφοι ηγαπημενοι υπο θεου την εκλογην υμων

5 For our gospel hath not been unto you in word only, but in power also, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much fulness, as you know what manner of men we have been among you for your sakes.

οτι το ευαγγελιον ημων ουκ εγενηθη εισ υμασ εν λογω μονον αλλα και εν δυναμει και εν πνευματι αγιω και εν πληροφορια πολλη καθωσ οιδατε οιοι εγενηθημεν εν υμιν δι υμασ

6 And you became followers of us, and of the Lord; receiving the word in much tribulation, with joy of the Holy Ghost:

και υμεισ μιμηται ημων εγενηθητε και του κυριου δεξαμενοι τον λογον εν θλιψει πολλη μετα χαρασ πνευματοσ αγιου

7 So that you were made a pattern to all that believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.

ωστε γενεσθαι υμασ τυπουσ πασιν τοισ πιστευουσιν εν τη μακεδονια και τη αχαια

8 For from you was spread abroad the word of the Lord, not only in Macedonia, and in Achaia, but also in every place, your faith which is towards God, is gone forth, so that we need not to speak any thing.

αφ υμων γαρ εξηχηται ο λογοσ του κυριου ου μονον εν τη μακεδονια και εν τη αχαια αλλα και εν παντι τοπω η πιστισ υμων η προσ τον θεον εξεληλυθεν ωστε μη χρειαν ημασ εχειν λαλειν τι

9 For they themselves relate of us, what manner of entering in we had unto you; and how you turned to God from idols, to serve the living and true God.

αυτοι γαρ περι ημων απαγγελλουσιν οποιαν εισοδον εσχομεν προσ υμασ και πωσ επεστρεψατε προσ τον θεον απο των ειδωλων δουλευειν θεω ζωντι και αληθινω

10 And to wait for his Son from heaven (whom he raised up from the dead, ) Jesus, who hath delivered us from the wrath to come.

και αναμενειν τον υιον αυτου εκ των ουρανων ον ηγειρεν εκ των νεκρων ιησουν τον ρυομενον ημασ απο τησ οργησ τησ ερχομενησ
