00:00.000 --> 00:05.360
The first epistle of Paul the Apostle to
the Thessalonians, chapter 1.

00:07.120 --> 00:11.400
Paul in Silvanus, in Timotheus,
unto the church of the Thessalonians,

00:11.700 --> 00:14.720
which is in God the Father, and in the
Lord Jesus Christ.

00:15.500 --> 00:20.700
Grace be unto you, and peace from God our
Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:21.420 --> 00:26.100
We give thanks to God always for you all,
making mention of you in our prayers,

00:27.320 --> 00:32.400
remembering without ceasing your work of
faith, and labor of love, and patience of

00:32.400 --> 00:36.640
hope in our Lord Jesus Christ,
in the sight of God and our Father,

00:37.280 --> 00:40.180
knowing, brethren beloved, your election
of God.

00:40.960 --> 00:46.280
For our gospel came not unto you in word
only, but also in power, and in the Holy

00:46.280 --> 00:51.800
Ghost, and in much assurance, as ye know
what manner of men we were among you for

00:51.800 --> 00:52.340
your sake.

00:53.120 --> 00:57.640
And ye became followers of us,
and of the Lord, having received the word

00:57.640 --> 01:03.040
in much affliction, with joy of the Holy
Ghost, so that ye were in samples to all

01:03.040 --> 01:05.520
that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.

01:06.240 --> 01:10.820
For from you sounded out the word of the
Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia,

01:10.900 --> 01:16.280
but also in every place your faith to
Godward is spread abroad, so that we need

01:16.280 --> 01:17.780
not to speak any thing.

01:18.440 --> 01:22.460
For they themselves show of us what manner
of entering in we had unto you,

01:22.700 --> 01:26.980
and how ye turned to God from idols to
serve the living and true God,

01:27.760 --> 01:32.800
and to wait for his Son from heaven,
whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus,

01:33.240 --> 01:35.420
which delivered us from the wrath to come.
