1Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians which is in Elohim (God) the Father and in Lord Yahusha HaMashiach (Jesus Christ): Grace be unto you, and peace, from Elohim (God) our Father, and Lord Yahusha HaMashiach (Jesus Christ).
2We give thanks to Elohim (God) always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;
3Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Yahusha HaMashiach (Jesus Christ), in the sight of Elohim (God) and our Father;
4Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of Elohim (God).
5For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit), and in much assurance; as you know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.
6And you became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit):
7So that you were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.
8For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to Elohim (God)-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing.
9For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how you turned to Elohim (God) from idols to serve the living and true Elohim (God);
10And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Yahusha (Jesus), which delivered us from the wrath to come.
