1 Thessalonians 1
1
Greetings
1Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, To the community of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah: Grace to you and shalom.
Good News with Power
2We always give thanks to God for all of you, mentioning you in our prayers—continually
3remembering before our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love and steadiness of hope in our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
4We know, brothers and sisters loved by God, that you are chosen,
5because our Good News did not come to you in word only, but also in power and in the Ruach ha-Kodesh and with complete certainty—just as you know what kind of men we proved to be while among you for your sake.
6You also became imitators of us and of the Lord, having accepted the message in much tribulation, with the joy of the Ruach ha-Kodesh.
7So you became an example to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia.
8For the word of the Lord rang out from you—not just in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faithfulness toward God has gone out, so that we have no need to say anything.
9For they themselves bring news about what kind of welcome we had among you, and how you turned to God from idols, to serve the living and true God,
10and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead—Yeshua, the One delivering us from the coming wrath.

The Thessalonians' Faith and Example
4My dear friends, God loves you, and we know he has chosen you to be his people. 5When we told you the good news, it was with the power and assurance that come from the Holy Spirit, and not simply with words. You knew what kind of people we were and how we helped you. 6#Ac 17.5-9. So, when you accepted the message, you followed our example and the example of the Lord. You suffered, but the Holy Spirit made you glad.
7You became an example for all the Lord's followers in Macedonia and Achaia. 8And because of you, the Lord's message has spread everywhere in those regions. Now the news of your faith in God is known all over the world, and we don't have to say a thing about it. 9Everyone is talking about how you welcomed us and how you turned away from idols to serve the true and living God. 10They also tell how you are waiting for his Son Jesus to come from heaven. God raised him from death, and on the day of judgment Jesus will save us from God's anger.
