1	Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
			2	We give thanks# to God always for you all, making# mention of you in our prayers;
			3	Remembering# without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;
			4	Knowing# , brethren beloved# , your election of God. [beloved...: or, beloved of God, your election]
			5	For our gospel came# not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know# what manner of men we were# among you for your sake.
			6	And ye became# followers of us, and of the Lord, having received# the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost:
			7	So that ye were# ensamples to all that believe# 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 shew# of us what manner of entering in we had# # # # unto you, and how ye 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, which delivered# us from the wrath to come# .
