[KJV] chapters
,[2],[3],[4],[5]
1st Thessalonians 1
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.
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.
