1 Thessalonians 1
Wycliffe Bible
1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, to the church of Thessalonians, in God the Father, and in the Lord Jesus Christ, grace and peace to you [grace to you, and peace].
2 We do thankings to God evermore for all you, and we make mind of you in our prayers without ceasing [making mind of you in our prayers without ceasing];
3 having mind of the work of your faith, and travail, and charity, and abiding of the hope of our Lord Jesus Christ [mindful of your work of faith, and travail, and charity, and sustaining of the hope of our Lord Jesus Christ], before God and our Father.
4 Ye beloved brethren of God, we witting your choosing, [We witting, ye loved brethren of God, your choosing,]
5 for our gospel was not at you in word only, but also in virtue, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much plenty; as ye know, which we were among you for you [as ye know, what manner men we were in you for you];
6 and ye be made followers of us, and of the Lord, receiving the word in much tribulation, with joy of the Holy Ghost;
7 so that ye be made ensample to all men that believe [so that ye be made form, or example, to all men believing], in Macedonia and in Achaia.
8 For of you the word of the Lord is published, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but your faith that is to God, in each place is gone forth[a]; so that it is not need to us to speak any thing.
9 For they show of you, what manner entry we had to you, and how ye be converted to God from maumets [and how ye be converted to God from simulacra], to serve to the living God and very;
10 and to abide his Son from heavens, whom he raised from death, the Lord Jesus, that delivered us from wrath to coming. [and for to abide his son from heavens, whom he raised from dead, Jesus, that delivered us from wrath to come.]

1 Thessalonians 1
New Matthew Bible
He thanks God for them, that they are so steadfast in faith & good works, and receive the gospel with such earnestness.
1 Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy.
To the congregation of the Thessalonians in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Grace be with you and peace from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
2 We give God thanks always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers without ceasing, 3 and call to remembrance your work in the faith and labour in love, and perseverance in the hope of our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of God our Father, 4 because we know, brethren beloved of God, that you are elect. 5 For our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and also in the Holy Spirit – and in much confidence, as you know how we conducted ourselves among you for your sakes.
6 And you became followers of us and of the Lord, and received the word in much affliction, with the joy of the Holy Spirit, 7 so that you were an example to all who believe in Macedonia and Achaia. 8 For the word of the Lord sounded out from you – not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but the faith that you have in God went abroad in all quarters, so greatly that it is not necessary for us to say anything at all. 9 For people themselves speak of you: what manner of entry we had in to you, and how you turned to God from idols, to serve the living and true God, 10 and to look for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from death; I mean Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come.
