First Thessalonians, First Thessalonians One Paul, Sylvanus and Timothy to

the Church of the Thessalonians. In God, the Father and

the Lord Jesus Christ, Grace to you and peace. We

give thanks to God always for all of you, constantly

mentioning you in our prayers, remembering before our God and

Father your work of faith and labor of love and

steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.

For we know, brothers loved by God, that He has

chosen you, because our Gospel came to you, not only

in word, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit,

and with full conviction. You know what kind of men

we prove to be among you for your sake, and

you become imitators of us and of the Lord. For

you received the Word in much affliction, with the joy

of the Holy spe so that you became an example

to all the believers in Macedonia and in Akeaia.

For not only has the Word of the Lord sounded

forth from you in Macedonia and Akaia, but your faith

in God has gone forth everywhere, so that we need

not say anything, for they themselves report concerning us the

kind of reception we had among you, and how you

turned to God from idols to serve the Living and

True God and to wait for his son from heaven,

whom he raised from the dead, Jesus, who delivers us

from the wrath, to come first Thessalonians two. For you

yourselves know, brothers, that our coming to you is not

in vain. But though we had already suffered and been

shamefully treated at Philippi, as you know, we had boldness

in our God to declare to you the Gospel of

God in the midst of much conflict. For our appeal

does not spring from error or impurity, or any attempt

to deceive. But just as we have been approved by

God to be entrusted with the Gospel, so we speak

not to please man, but to please God, who tests

our hearts.

For we never came with words of flattery, as you know,

nor with the pretext, for greed God is witness. Nor

did we seek glory from people, whether from you or

from others. Though we could have made demands as apostles

of Christ. But we were gentle among you, like a

nursing mother taking care of her own children. So, being

affectionately desirous of you, we were ready to share with

you not only the gospel of God, but also our

own selves, because you have become very dear to us.

For you remember, brothers, our labor and toil.

We worked night and day that we might not be

a burden to any of you. While we proclaim to

you the gospel of God. You are witnesses and God also.

How holy and righteous and blameless was our conduct towards you, believers,

For you know how, like a father with his children,

we exhorted each one of you and encouraged you and

charged you to walk in a manner worthy of God,

who calls you into his own kingdom and glory.

And we also thank God constantly for this, that when

you received the word of God which you heard from us,

you accepted it not as the word of men, but

as what it really is, the Word of God which

is at work in you believers.

For you, brothers, became imitators of the churches of God

in Christ Jesus that are in Judea. For you suffered

the same things from your own countrymen as they did

from the Jews, who killed both the Lord Jesus and

the prophets, and drove us out and displeased God and

oppose all mankind by hindering us from speaking to the

gentiles that they might be saved always to fill up

the measure of their sins. But God's wrath has come

upon them at last.

But since we were torn away from you, brothers for

a short time in person, not in heart, we endeavored

them more eagerly and with great desire to see you face.

To face, because we wanted to come to you, Aye Paul,

again and again.

But Satan hindered us.

For what is our hope or joy or crown of

boasting before our Lord Jesus at his comingly, is it

not you? For you are our glory and joy first

Thessalonians three.

Therefore, when we could bear it no longer, we were

willing to be left behind at Athens alone, and we

sent Timothy, our brother and God's co worker in the

Gospel Christ, to establish and exhort you in your faith

that no one be moved by these afflictions. For you

yourselves know that we are destined.

For this, For when we were with you, we kept

telling you beforehand that we were to suffer affliction, just

as it has come to pass, and just as you

know for this reason, when I could bear it no longer,

I sent to learn about your faith, for fear that

somehow the tempter had tempted you and our labor would

be in vain.

But now that Timothy has come to us from you

and has brought us the good news of your faith

and love, and reported that you always remember us kindly

and longed to see us as we long to see you.

For this reason, brothers, in all our distress and affliction,

we have been comforted about you through your faith. For

now we live if you are standing fast in the Lord.

For what thanksgiving can we return to God for you?

For all the joy that we feel for your sake

before our God, as we pray most earnestly night and day,

that we may see you face to face and supply

what is lacking in your faith.

Now, may our God and Father himself and our Lord

Jesus direct our way to you, and may the Lord

make you increase and abound in love for one another

and for all, as we do for you, so that

He may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our

God and Father. At the coming of our Lord Jesus

with all his saints. First Thessalonians four. Finally, then, brothers,

we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that

as you received from us how you ought to walk

and to please God, just as you are doing that,

you do so more and more. For you know what

instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus. For this

is the will of God your sanctification, that you abstain

from sexual immorality. That each one of you know how

to control his own body in holiness and honor, not

in the passion of lust, like the gentiles who do

not know God. That no one transgress and wrong his

brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger

in all these things, as we told you beforehand and

solemnly warned you.

For God has not called us for impurity, but in holiness. Therefore,

whoever disregards this disregards not man but God, who gives

his Holy Spirit to you.

Now, concerning brotherly love, you have no need for anyone

to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught

by God to love one another. For that, indeed is

what you are doing to all the brothers throughout Macedonia.

But we urge you, brothers, to do this.

More and more, and to aspire to live quietly, and

to mind your own affairs, and to work with your

hands as we instructed you, so that you may walk

properly before outsiders and be dependent on no one. But

we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about

those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as

others do who have no hope. For since we believe

that Jesus died and rose again, even so through Jesus,

God will bring with him those.

Who have fallen asleep.

For this we declare to you by a word from

the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left

until the coming of the Lord, will not proceed those

who have fallen asleep, For the Lord himself will descend

from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice

of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet

of God.

And the dead in Christ will rise first.

Then we who are alive who are left, will be

caught up together with them in the clouds to meet

the Lord in the air, and so we will all

always be with the Lord.

Therefore, encourage one another with these words.

First Thessalonians five Now concerning the times and the seasons, Brothers,

you have no need to have anything written to you,

for you yourselves are fully aware that the day of

the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

While people are saying there is peace and security, then

sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come

upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

But you are not in darkness, brothers, for that day

to surprise you like a thief. For you are all

children of light, children of the day.

We are not of the night or of the darkness.

So then let us not.

Sleep as a do, but let us keep awake and

be sober.

For those who sleep sleep at night, and those who

get drunk are drunk at night. But since we belong

to the day, let us be sober, having put on

the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the.

Hope of salvation.

For God has not destined us for wrath, but to

obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us,

so that whether we.

Are awake or asleep, we.

Might live with Him. Therefore, encourage one another and build

one another up, just as you are doing.

We ask you, brothers, to respect those who labor among you.

And are over you in the Lord, and admonish you,

and to esteem them very highly in love because of

their work. Be at peace among yourselves.

And we urge you, brothers, admonish the idly, encourage the fainthearted,

help the weak, be patient with them all. See that

no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always seek

to do good to one another and to everyone. Rejoice,

always pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances, for

this is the will of God in Christ Jesus.

For you do not quench the spirit.

Do not despise prophecies, but test everything.

Hold fast what is good, Abstain from every form of evil.

Now, may the God of Peace himself sanctify you completely,

and may your whole spirit and soul and body be

kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

He who calls you is faithful, he will surely do it.

Brothers, pray for us, greet all the brothers with a

holy kiss.

I put you under oath before the Lord to have

this letter read to all the brothers. The grace of

our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
