1 Tesalonica 1
Ang Bagong Tipan: Filipino Standard Version
Panimula
1 Mula (A) kina Pablo, Silas, at Timoteo; para sa iglesya ng mga taga-Tesalonica, na hinirang ng Diyos Ama at ng Panginoong Jesu-Cristo: Sumainyo nawa ang biyaya at kapayapaan mula sa ating Diyos.
Ang Pananampalataya ng mga Taga-Tesalonica
2 Lagi kaming nagpapasalamat sa Diyos dahil sa inyo at tuwina'y binabanggit namin kayo sa aming dalangin. 3 Sa mga dalangin nami'y ginugunita namin sa harapan ng ating Diyos at Ama ang gawain ninyo na bunga ng pananampalataya, ang inyong pagsisikap dahil sa inyong pag-ibig, at ang inyong pagtitiyaga dahil sa inyong matibay na pag-asa sa ating Panginoong Jesu-Cristo. 4 Alam namin, mga kapatid na minamahal ng Diyos, na siya ang humirang sa inyo. 5 Sapagkat nang ipinangaral namin sa inyo ang ebanghelyo, hindi ito sa pamamagitan ng salita lamang, kundi sa pamamagitan ng kapangyarihang mula sa Banal na Espiritu kasama ang lubos naming pananalig sa aming ipinapahayag. Nakita ninyo kung paano kami namuhay sa inyong piling alang-alang sa inyo. 6 Nang (B) tinanggap ninyo ang aming ipinapangaral, tumulad kayo sa aming halimbawa at sa halimbawa ng Panginoon. Ginawa ninyo ito sa kabila ng matinding paghihirap, ngunit tinaglay pa rin ninyo ang kagalakang dulot ng Banal na Espiritu. 7 Kaya nga kayo'y naging huwaran ng lahat ng mga mananampalataya sa Macedonia at Acaia. 8 Hindi lamang ang Salita ng Diyos ang lumaganap sa mga lugar na iyon sa pamamagitan ninyo. Pati ang inyong pananampalataya'y nakilala na rin sa lahat ng dako, kaya't kami ay hindi na kailangang magsalita pa ng anuman. 9 Sila na mismo ang nagbalita kung paano ninyo kami tinanggap at kung paano ninyo tinalikdan ang pagsamba sa mga diyus-diyosan upang maglingkod sa tunay at buháy na Diyos, 10 hintayin ang pagbabalik ng kanyang Anak mula sa langit, si Jesus na kanyang muling binuhay mula sa mga patay, ang ating tagapagligtas mula sa poot na darating.
1 Thessalonians 1
King James Version
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.
1 Thessalonians 1
1599 Geneva Bible
The First Epistle of Paul to the Thessalonians
1 1 He therefore beginneth with thanksgiving, 4 to put them in mind that whatsoever was praiseworthy in them, it came of God’s goodness: 7 and that they are ensamples unto others.
1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, unto the Church of the Thessalonians, which is 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 [a]We give God thanks always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers.
3 [b]Without ceasing, remembering your effectual faith, and diligent love, and the patience of your hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God, even our Father,
4 Knowing, beloved brethren, that ye are [c]elect of God.
5 [d]For our Gospel was not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the holy Ghost, and in [e]much assurance, as ye know after what manner we were among you for your sakes.
6 [f]And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, and received the word in much affliction, with [g]joy of the holy Ghost,
7 So that ye were as ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.
8 For from you sounded out the word of the Lord, not in Macedonia and in Achaia only: but your faith also which is toward God, spread abroad in all quarters, that we need not to speak anything.
9 For [h]they themselves show of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, [i]and how ye 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 the dead, even Jesus which delivereth us from [j]that wrath to come.
Footnotes
- 1 Thessalonians 1:2 An example of a right Christian rejoicing:whereby also we learn, that such as have great gifts in them are in two sorts bridled, to wit, if they consider that they have received all from God, and that continuance must be desired at his hands, whereunto also the whole Epistle exhorteth the Thessalonians.
- 1 Thessalonians 1:3 He commendeth them for three special gifts, effectual faith, continual love, and patient hope: to the end they might be ashamed being endued with such excellent gifts, not to continue in God’s election.
- 1 Thessalonians 1:4 Word for word, that your election is of God.
- 1 Thessalonians 1:5 Another reason why they ought in no wise start back but continue to the end, because they cannot doubt of his doctrine which hath been so many ways confirmed unto them, even from heaven as they themselves did well know.
- 1 Thessalonians 1:5 Paul showeth by two things, that there followed very great fruits of his preaching, to wit, by these gifts of the holy Ghost, and that certain assurance which was thoroughly settled in their minds, as appeared by their willing bearing of the cross.
- 1 Thessalonians 1:6 Another reason: Because even to that day, they embraced the Gospel with great cheerfulness, insomuch that they were an example to all their neighbors: so that it should be more shame for them to faint in the mid-race.
- 1 Thessalonians 1:6 With joy which cometh from the holy Ghost.
- 1 Thessalonians 1:9 All the believers.
- 1 Thessalonians 1:9 It is no true conversion to forsake idols, unless a man therewithall worship the true and living God in Christ the only redeemer.
