1 Tesalonicenses 1
Biblia del Jubileo
1 ¶ Pablo, Silvano, y Timoteo, a la Iglesia de los tesalonicenses congregada en Dios, el Padre, y en el Señor Jesús, el Cristo: Gracia y paz tengáis de Dios nuestro Padre y del Señor Jesús el Cristo.
2 ¶ Damos siempre gracias a Dios por todos vosotros, haciendo memoria de vosotros en nuestras oraciones;
3 sin cesar acordándonos de la obra de vuestra fe, y del trabajo y caridad, y del esperar con la esperanza del Señor nuestro, Jesús el Cristo, delante del Dios y Padre nuestro.
4 Estando ciertos, hermanos amados, de que sois escogidos de Dios.
5 Por cuanto nuestro Evangelio no fue entre vosotros en palabra solamente, mas también en potencia, y en el Espíritu Santo, y en gran plenitud; como sabéis cuáles fuimos entre vosotros por causa de vosotros.
6 ¶ Y vosotros fuisteis hechos imitadores de nosotros, y del Señor, recibiendo la palabra con mucha tribulación, con gozo del Espíritu Santo;
7 de tal manera que habéis sido ejemplo a todos los que han creído en Macedonia y en Acaya.
8 Porque por vosotros ha sido divulgada la Palabra del Señor no sólo en Macedonia y en Acaya, mas aun en todo lugar vuestra fe, que es en Dios, se ha extendido; de tal manera que no tenemos necesidad de hablar nada.
9 Porque ellos cuentan de nosotros cuál entrada tuvimos a vosotros; y de qué manera fuisteis convertidos a Dios dejando los ídolos para servir al Dios vivo y verdadero.
10 Y esperar a su Hijo de los cielos, al cual resucitó de los muertos: a Jesús, el cual nos libró de la ira que ha de venir.
1 Thessalonians 1
EasyEnglish Bible
Paul says ‘hello’
1 This letter is from Paul, Silas and Timothy.
We are writing to the people of the church in Thessalonica. You belong to God the Father and to the Lord Jesus Christ.
We pray that God will continue to help you. We pray that he will give you peace in your minds.
2 We always thank God for all of you. Every time that we pray, we pray for you. 3 As we pray to our Father God, we remember how you live. You do good things because you believe in Christ. You work hard to help other people because you love them and you love God. You are also strong and patient because you hope strongly in our Lord Jesus Christ.[a]
4 Our Christian friends, God loves you. We know that he has chosen you to belong to him. 5 When we told you God's good news, it was not only words that we spoke to you. God helped us with his power and with the Holy Spirit. As a result, you were sure that our message was true. You also know that we lived among you in a good way. We had come to help you.
6 In your lives also, you copied our example and the example of the Lord Jesus. When you believed our message, people caused you to have a lot of trouble. But God's Holy Spirit helped you to be very happy. 7 As a result, you became an example to all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia.[b]
8 Because of you, people in many places have clearly heard the message about the Lord. It is not only the people in Macedonia and in Achaia who have heard it. People everywhere now know how you trust God. So, as we travel to different places, we do not need to tell people anything. 9 Those people themselves speak about how you accepted us. They tell us how you stopped worshipping false gods. They know that you now serve the true God who always lives. 10 They also tell us that you are waiting patiently for God's Son to return from heaven. God raised him up after his death on the cross. He is Jesus. He saves us from God's punishment that will come one day.[c]
