1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy , to the church of the Thessalonians [which is] in God the Father and [in] the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace [be] to you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2 We give thanks to God always for you all, continually making a point of mentioning you in our prayers;
3 Remembering continually your active work originating from faith, and troublesome effort originating from [agape] love, and continual pressing through originating from hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the presence of God who is also our Father;
 - AGAPE - DIVINE LOVE - HOPE - FAITH HOPE LOVE - WORK
4 Knowing, brothers beloved, your election of God.
 - PREDESTINATION AND ELECTION
5 Because our gospel did not come to you in principles alone, but also with [dynamic] power, by the Holy Spirit, and with full assurance; since you know what kind of person we were with you for your own benefit.
6 And you became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit:
7 So that you were models to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia.
8 For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing.
9 For they themselves show of us what manner of entering in we had to you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;
10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, [even] Jesus, who delivered us from the vengeance [orge] to come.
