Thanksgiving
2We always thank God for all of you, making mention of you constantly in our prayers. 3We recall, in the presence of our God and Father, # 1:3 Php 4:20 your work produced by faith, # 1:3 Rm 3:28; 9:32; Gl 2:16; 5:6; 2Th 1:11; Heb 6:1; Jms 2:14–26; Rv 2:19 your labor motivated by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. # 1:3 Ac 15:26 4For we know, brothers and sisters loved # 1:4 Jn 3:16; Rv 12:11 by God, # 1:4 Dt 33:12; 2Th 2:13 that he has chosen you, # 1:4 Mt 24:22; Eph 1:4 5because our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power, in the Holy Spirit, # 1:5 Jn 1:33; Ac 2:4; Rm 8:9; 1Co 2:4; Gl 5:25; Ti 3:5; Rv 3:22 and with full assurance. You know how we lived among you # 1:5 Ac 20:18; 1Th 2:10 for your benefit, 6and you yourselves became imitators of us and of the Lord when, in spite of severe persecution, you welcomed the message # 1:6 Heb 4:12 with joy from the Holy Spirit. 7As a result, you became an example to all the believers in Macedonia # 1:7 Ac 16:9 and Achaia. # 1:7 Ac 18:12 8For the word of the Lord rang out from you, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place that your faith # 1:8 Or in every place news of your faith,# 1:8 Gl 2:16 in God has gone out. Therefore, we don’t need to say anything, 9for they themselves report # 1:9 Lit report about us what kind of reception # 1:9 Ac 17:1–9 we had from you: how you turned # 1:9 1Pt 2:25 to God from idols # 1:9 Gn 31:19; 1Co 8:4 to serve the living # 1:9 Dt 5:26 and true # 1:9 Jn 4:23; 1Jn 5:20 God 10and to wait # 1:10 Jd 21 for his Son # 1:10 Heb 1:2 from heaven, whom he raised from the dead # 1:10 Mt 17:9; Jn 5:25 — Jesus, who rescues us # 1:10 Mt 27:43 from the coming wrath. # 1:10 Rm 2:5; 1Th 5:9; Rv 6:16

1 Thessalonians 1
1
1From Sha'ul and Silvanus (Sila) and Timotiyos.
To the kehillah of the inhabitants of the city of Thessalonika, the kehillah in Hashem, in Elohim HaAv and in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu Yehoshua.
Chen v'Chesed Hashem and Shalom Hashem to you.
2Hodinu l'Hashem (We give thanks to Hashem) always for all of you, with zikaron (remembrance) during our davening, without ceasing 3In our tefillos recalling before our G-d and Avinu your work of emunah, your labor of ahavah (agape), and your perseverance of tikvah in Moshiach Adoneinu Yeshoshua, 4Knowing, Achim b'Moshiach ahuvei Hashem (Brothers in Moshiach beloved of G-d), your bechirah (election). 5For our Besuras HaGeulah did not come to you in mere locution but indeed in gevurah (miraculous power) and in the Ruach HaKodesh and in full bitachon (confidence), just as you have da'as what sort of men we were among you for your sake. 6And you became imitators of us and of Adoneinu, having received the Dvar Hashem (the Word of the L-rd) in much redifah (persecution) with the simcha of the Ruach HaKodesh, 7With the result that you became a mofet (portent), even a role model for all the ma'aminim (believers) in the territory of Macedonia and in Achaia.#1:7 Macedonia and Achaia were Roman provinces of southern Greece 8For from you the Dvar Hashem has resounded not only in Macedonia and in Achaia, but also in every place to which your emunah in Hashem has gone forth, with the result that we have no need to say anything. 9For they themselves [the ma'aminim b'Moshiach in Macedonia and Achaia] are reporting about us, what sort of initial reception we had with you, and how you made teshuva, turning to Hashem from elilim (idols), from avodah zarah (idol worship), turning to worship the Elohim Chayyim and Elohei Emes (the Living G-d and the True G-d), 10And to expect#1:10 Moshiach Zun fun der Oybershter from Shomayim whom Hashem made to stand up in the Techiyas HaMoshiach from the Mesim Yehoshua Moshieinu (our Deliverer) from the Charon Af HaBah (the wrath to come).
