1 Thessalonians 1:1--3:13

1:1

Paul
<3972>_,

and
<2532>

Silvanus
<4610>_,

and
<2532>

Timotheus
<5095>_,

unto the church
<1577>

of the Thessalonians
<2331>

[which is] in
<1722>

God
<2316>

the Father
<3962>

and
<2532>

[in] the Lord
<2962>

Jesus
<2424>

Christ
<5547>_:

Grace
<5485>

[be] unto you
<5213>_,

and
<2532>

peace
<1515>_,

from
<575>

God
<2316>

our
<2257>

Father
<3962>_,

and
<2532>

the Lord
<2962>

Jesus
<2424>

Christ
<5547>_.

1:2

We give thanks
<2168> (5719)

to God
<2316>

always
<3842>

for
<4012>

you
<5216>

all
<3956>_,

making
<4160> (5734)

mention
<3417>

of you
<5216>

in
<1909>

our
<2257>

prayers
<4335>_;

1:3

Remembering
<3421> (5723)

without ceasing
<89>

your
<5216>

work
<2041>

of faith
<4102>_,

and
<2532>

labour
<2873>

of love
<26>_,

and
<2532>

patience
<5281>

of hope
<1680>

in our
<2257>

Lord
<2962>

Jesus
<2424>

Christ
<5547>_,

in the sight
<1715>

of God
<2316>

and
<2532>

our
<2257>

Father
<3962>_;

1:4

Knowing
<1492> (5761)_,

brethren
<80>

beloved
<25> (5772)_,

your
<5216>

election
<1589>

of
<5259>

God
<2316>_.

{beloved...: or, beloved of God, your election}

1:5

For
<3754>

our
<2257>

gospel
<2098>

came
<1096> (5675)

not
<3756>

unto
<1519>

you
<5209>

in
<1722>

word
<3056>

only
<3440>_,

but
<235>

also
<2532>

in
<1722>

power
<1411>_,

and
<2532>

in
<1722>

the Holy
<40>

Ghost
<4151>_,

and
<2532>

in
<1722>

much
<4183>

assurance
<4136>_;

as
<2531>

ye know
<1492> (5758)

what manner of men
<3634>

we were
<1096> (5675)

among
<1722>

you
<5213>

for
<1223>

your
<5209>

sake.

1:6

And
<2532>

ye
<5210>

became
<1096> (5675)

followers
<3402>

of us
<2257>_,

and
<2532>

of the Lord
<2962>_,

having received
<1209> (5666)

the word
<3056>

in
<1722>

much
<4183>

affliction
<2347>_,

with
<3326>

joy
<5479>

of the Holy
<40>

Ghost
<4151>_:

1:7

So
<5620>

that ye
<5209>

were
<1096> (5635)

ensamples
<5179>

to all
<3956>

that believe
<4100> (5723)

in
<1722>

Macedonia
<3109>

and
<2532>

Achaia
<882>_.

1:8

For
<1063>

from
<575>

you
<5216>

sounded out
<1837> (5769)

the word
<3056>

of the Lord
<2962>

not
<3756>

only
<3440>

in
<1722>

Macedonia
<3109>

and
<2532>

Achaia
<882>_,

but
<235>

also
<2532>

in
<1722>

every
<3956>

place
<5117>

your
<5216>

faith
<4102>

to
<4314>

God-ward
<2316>

is spread abroad
<1831> (5758)_;

so
<5620>

that we
<2248>

need
<5532>

not
<3361> <2192> (5721)

to speak
<2980> (5721)

any thing
<5100>_.

1:9

For
<1063>

they
<518> (0)

themselves
<846>

shew
<518> (5719)

of
<4012>

us
<2257>

what manner
<3697>

of entering in
<1529>

we had
<2192> (5719) (5625) <2192> (5627)

unto
<4314>

you
<5209>_,

and
<2532>

how
<4459>

ye turned
<1994> (5656)

to
<4314>

God
<2316>

from
<575>

idols
<1497>

to serve
<1398> (5721)

the living
<2198> (5723)

and
<2532>

true
<228>

God
<2316>_;

1:10

And
<2532>

to wait for
<362> (5721)

his
<846>

Son
<5207>

from
<1537>

heaven
<3772>_,

whom
<3739>

he raised
<1453> (5656)

from
<1537>

the dead
<3498>_,

[even] Jesus
<2424>_,

which
<3588>

delivered
<4506> (5740)

us
<2248>

from
<575>

the wrath
<3709>

to come
<2064> (5740)_.

2:1

For
<1063>

yourselves
<846>_,

brethren
<80>_,

know
<1492> (5758)

our
<2257>

entrance in
<1529>

unto
<4314>

you
<5209>_,

that
<3754>

it was
<1096> (5754)

not
<3756>

in vain
<2756>_:

2:2

But
<235>

even
<2532>

after that we had suffered before
<4310> (5631)_,

and
<2532>

were shamefully entreated
<5195> (5685)_,

as
<2531>

ye know
<1492> (5758)_,

at
<1722>

Philippi
<5375>_,

we were bold
<3955> (5662)

in
<1722>

our
<2257>

God
<2316>

to speak
<2980> (5658)

unto
<4314>

you
<5209>

the gospel
<2098>

of God
<2316>

with
<1722>

much
<4183>

contention
<73>_.

2:3

For
<1063>

our
<2257>

exhortation
<3874>

[was] not
<3756>

of
<1537>

deceit
<4106>_,

nor
<3761>

of
<1537>

uncleanness
<167>_,

nor
<3777>

in
<1722>

guile
<1388>_:

2:4

But
<235>

as
<2531>

we were allowed
<1381> (5769)

of
<5259>

God
<2316>

to be put in trust
<4100> (5683)

with the gospel
<2098>_,

even so
<3779>

we speak
<2980> (5719)_;

not
<3756>

as
<5613>

pleasing
<700> (5723)

men
<444>_,

but
<235>

God
<2316>_,

which trieth
<1381> (5723)

our
<2257>

hearts
<2588>_.

2:5

For
<1063>

neither
<3777>

at any time
<4218>

used we
<1096> (5675)

flattering
<2850>

words
<1722> <3056>_,

as
<2531>

ye know
<1492> (5758)_,

nor
<3777>

a cloke
<1722> <4392>

of covetousness
<4124>_;

God
<2316>

[is] witness
<3144>_:

2:6

Nor
<3777>

of
<1537>

men
<444>

sought
<2212> (5723)

we glory
<1391>_,

neither
<3777>

of
<575>

you
<5216>_,

nor
<3777>

[yet] of
<575>

others
<243>_,

when we might
<1410> (5740)

have been
<1511> (5750)

burdensome
<1722> <922>_,

as
<5613>

the apostles
<652>

of Christ
<5547>_.

{been...: or, used authority}

2:7

But
<235>

we were
<1096> (5675)

gentle
<2261>

among
<1722> <3319>

you
<5216>_,

even as
<5613>

a nurse
<5162>

cherisheth
<302> <2282> (5725)

her
<1438>

children
<5043>_:

2:8

So
<3779>

being affectionately desirous
<2442> (5734)

of you
<5216>_,

we were willing
<2106> (5707)

to have imparted
<3330> (5629)

unto you
<5213>_,

not
<3756>

the gospel
<2098>

of God
<2316>

only
<3440>_,

but
<235>

also
<2532>

our own
<1438>

souls
<5590>_,

because
<1360>

ye were
<1096> (5769)

dear
<27>

unto us
<2254>_.

2:9

For
<1063>

ye remember
<3421> (5719)_,

brethren
<80>_,

our
<2257>

labour
<2873>

and
<2532>

travail
<3449>_:

for
<1063>

labouring
<2038> (5740)

night
<3571>

and
<2532>

day
<2250>_,

because
<4314>

we would
<1912> (0)

not
<3361>

be chargeable
<1912> (5658)

unto any
<5100>

of you
<5216>_,

we preached
<2784> (5656)

unto
<1519>

you
<5209>

the gospel
<2098>

of God
<2316>_.

2:10

Ye
<5210>

[are] witnesses
<3144>_,

and
<2532>

God
<2316>

[also], how
<5613>

holily
<3743>

and
<2532>

justly
<1346>

and
<2532>

unblameably
<274>

we behaved ourselves
<1096> (5675)

among you
<5213>

that believe
<4100> (5723)_:

2:11

As
<2509>

ye know
<1492> (5758)

how
<5613>

we exhorted
<3870> (5723)

and
<2532>

comforted
<3888> (5740)

and charged
<3140> (5734)

every
<1538>

one
<1520>

of you
<5209> <5216>_,

as
<5613>

a father
<3962>

[doth] his
<1438>

children
<5043>_,

2:12

<2532>@ That
<1519>

ye
<5209>

would walk
<4043> (5658)

worthy
<516>

of God
<2316>_,

who hath called
<2564> (5723)

you
<5209>

unto
<1519>

his
<1438>

kingdom
<932>

and
<2532>

glory
<1391>_.

2:13

For this
<5124>

cause
<1223>

also
<2532>

thank
<2168> (5719)

we
<2249>

God
<2316>

without ceasing
<89>_,

because
<3754>_,

when ye received
<3880> (5631)

the word
<3056>

of God
<2316>

which ye heard
<189>

of
<3844>

us
<2257>_,

ye received
<1209> (5662)

[it] not
<3756>

[as] the word
<3056>

of men
<444>_,

but
<235>

as
<2531>

it is
<2076> (5748)

in truth
<230>_,

the word
<3056>

of God
<2316>_,

which
<3739>

effectually worketh
<1754> (5731)

also
<2532>

in
<1722>

you
<5213>

that believe
<4100> (5723)_.

2:14

For
<1063>

ye
<5210>_,

brethren
<80>_,

became
<1096> (5675)

followers
<3402>

of the churches
<1577>

of God
<2316>

which
<3588>

in
<1722>

Judaea
<2449>

are
<5607> (5752)

in
<1722>

Christ
<5547>

Jesus
<2424>_:

for
<3754>

ye
<5210>

also
<2532>

have suffered
<3958> (5627)

like things
<5024>

of
<5259>

your own
<2398>

countrymen
<4853>_,

even
<2532>

as
<2531>

they [have]
<846>

of
<5259>

the Jews
<2453>_:

2:15

Who both
<2532>

killed
<615> (5660)

the Lord
<2962>

Jesus
<2424>_,

and
<2532>

their own
<2398>

prophets
<4396>_,

and
<2532>

have persecuted
<1559> (5660)

us
<2248>_;

and
<2532>

they please
<700> (5723)

not
<3361>

God
<2316>_,

and
<2532>

are contrary
<1727>

to all
<3956>

men
<444>_:

{persecuted us: or, chased us out}

2:16

Forbidding
<2967> (5723)

us
<2248>

to speak
<2980> (5658)

to the Gentiles
<1484>

that
<2443>

they might be saved
<4982> (5686)_,

to
<1519>

fill up
<378> (5658)

their
<846>

sins
<266>

alway
<3842>_:

for
<1161>

the wrath
<3709>

is come
<5348> (5656)

upon
<1909>

them
<846>

to
<1519>

the uttermost
<5056>_.

2:17

But
<1161>

we
<2249>_,

brethren
<80>_,

being taken
<642> (5685)

from
<575>

you
<5216>

for
<4314>

a short
<5610>

time
<2540>

in presence
<4383>_,

not
<3756>

in heart
<2588>_,

endeavoured
<4704> (5656)

the more abundantly
<4056>

to see
<1492> (5629)

your
<5216>

face
<4383>

with
<1722>

great
<4183>

desire
<1939>_.

2:18

Wherefore
<1352>

we would
<2309> (5656)

have come
<2064> (5629)

unto
<4314>

you
<5209>_,

even
<3303>

I
<1473>

Paul
<3972>_,

once
<2532> <530>

and
<2532>

again
<1364>_;

but
<2532>

Satan
<4567>

hindered
<1465> (5656)

us
<2248>_.

2:19

For
<1063>

what
<5101>

[is] our
<2257>

hope
<1680>_,

or
<2228>

joy
<5479>_,

or
<2228>

crown
<4735>

of rejoicing
<2746>_?

<2228>

[Are] not
<3780>

even
<2532>

ye
<5210>

in the presence
<1715>

of our
<2257>

Lord
<2962>

Jesus
<2424>

Christ
<5547>

at
<1722>

his
<846>

coming
<3952>_?

{rejoicing: or, glorying?}

2:20

For
<1063>

ye
<5210>

are
<2075> (5748)

our
<2257>

glory
<1391>

and
<2532>

joy
<5479>_.

3:1

Wherefore
<1352>

when we could
<4722> (0)

no longer
<3371>

forbear
<4722> (5723)_,

we thought it good
<2106> (5656)

to be left
<2641> (5683)

at
<1722>

Athens
<116>

alone
<3441>_;

3:2

And
<2532>

sent
<3992> (5656)

Timotheus
<5095>_,

our
<2257>

brother
<80>_,

and
<2532>

minister
<1249>

of God
<2316>_,

and
<2532>

our
<2257>

fellowlabourer
<4904>

in
<1722>

the gospel
<2098>

of Christ
<5547>_,

to
<1519>

establish
<4741> (5658)

you
<5209>_,

and
<2532>

to comfort
<3870> (5658)

you
<5209>

concerning
<4012>

your
<5216>

faith
<4102>_:

3:3

That no man
<3367>

should be moved
<4525> (5745)

by
<1722>

these
<5025>

afflictions
<2347>_:

for
<1063>

yourselves
<846>

know
<1492> (5758)

that
<3754>

we are appointed
<2749> (5736)

thereunto
<1519> <5124>_.

{there unto: or, to sufferings, or, to persecution}

3:4

For
<1063>

verily
<2532>_,

when
<3753>

we were
<2258> (5713)

with
<4314>

you
<5209>_,

we told
<4302> (0)

you
<5213>

before
<4302> (5707)

that
<3754>

we should
<3195> (5719)

suffer tribulation
<2346> (5745)_;

even
<2532>

as
<2531>

it came to pass
<1096> (5633)_,

and
<2532>

ye know
<1492> (5758)_.

3:5

For this
<5124>

cause
<1223>_,

when I
<2504>

could
<4722> (0)

no longer
<3371>

forbear
<4722> (5723)_,

I sent
<3992> (5656)

to
<1519>

know
<1097> (5629)

your
<5216>

faith
<4102>_,

lest by some means
<3381> <4458>

the tempter
<3985> (5723)

have tempted
<3985> (5707)

you
<5209>_,

and
<2532>

our
<2257>

labour
<2873>

be
<1096> (5638)

in
<1519>

vain
<2756>_.

3:6

But
<1161>

now
<737>

when Timotheus
<5095>

came
<2064> (5631)

from
<575>

you
<5216>

3:9

For

what
