¹Paul and Silvanus and Timothy, to the sovereign assembly of the Thessalonians established in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus the Anointed One: Divine favor be upon you and victorious peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus the Anointed One. Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy write to the powerful church of the Thessalonians who are established in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ: May God's divine favor and victorious peace be yours from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. ²We continually express gratitude to God at all times concerning all of you, making powerful remembrance of you upon our prayers We constantly thank God for all of you, powerfully bringing you to remembrance in our prayers ³Unceasingly calling to mind your mighty work of faith and your laborious toil of love and your triumphant endurance of hope in our Lord Jesus the Anointed One before the presence of our God and Father Never stopping to remember your powerful work of faith, your hard work of love, and your victorious endurance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, all in the presence of our God and Father ⁴Knowing with certainty, brothers divinely beloved by God, your divine selection We know for certain, brothers who are divinely loved by God, that you have been chosen by Him ⁵Because our triumphant message came not to you in word only, but also in miraculous power and in the Holy Spirit and in abundant full conviction, just as you know what manner of men we became among you for your sake Because our good news didn't come to you just in words, but also with miraculous power, with the Holy Spirit, and with complete confidence. You know how we lived among you for your benefit ⁶And you became powerful imitators of us and of the Supreme Lord, having received with authority the divine word in much crushing pressure, with triumphant joy of the Holy Spirit You became powerful followers of us and of the Lord, boldly receiving God's word even under intense pressure, with the Holy Spirit's triumphant joy ⁷So that you became authoritative patterns to all the faithful believers in Macedonia and Achaia You became powerful examples for all believers in Macedonia and Achaia to follow ⁸For from you has thundered forth the divine word of the Supreme Lord, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your powerful faith toward God has gone forth triumphantly, so that we have no need to speak anything God's word has thundered out from you, not just in Macedonia and Achaia, but your powerful faith in God has spread everywhere, so we don't even need to say anything about it ⁹For they themselves proclaim with authority concerning us what kind of powerful entrance we had to you, and how you turned with authority to God from idols to serve as bond-servants to the living and true God They tell everyone about the powerful way we came to you, and how you turned from idols to serve the living and true God ¹⁰And to eagerly await His Son from the heavens, whom He raised with power from the dead, Jesus the One who delivers us with authority from the wrath that is coming And to eagerly wait for His Son from heaven, whom God powerfully raised from the dead—Jesus, who rescues us from God's coming judgment
