1 Tessalonicenses 1
O Livro
1 Paulo, Silas e Timóteo, à igreja de Tessalónica, em comunhão com Deus o Pai e com o Senhor Jesus Cristo, fazem votos de que a graça e a paz sejam convosco.
Encorajamento perante a perseguição
2 Vocês todos são para nós um motivo de constante gratidão a Deus e sempre vos nomeamos nas nossas orações. 3 Em oração a Deus lembramos a atividade que a fé vos inspira, de todo o vosso trabalho feito por amor cristão, da vossa persistência na esperança no nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo.
4 Nós sabemos, queridos irmãos, que foi Deus quem vos escolheu. 5 E o evangelho que vos anunciámos não vos foi comunicado apenas por meio de simples palavras, mas com poder e pelo Espírito Santo, produzindo uma grande certeza no vosso espírito. Sabem como vivemos no vosso meio e por amor de vocês. 6 Consequentemente, tornaram-se nossos imitadores, seguindo o modelo de vida que o Senhor vos comunicou. Foi no meio de muitas tribulações que receberam a palavra com a alegria do Espírito Santo, 7 de tal forma que se tornaram num exemplo para todos os crentes da Macedónia e da Acaia. 8 Na verdade, por vosso intermédio a palavra do Senhor espalhou-se por estas duas regiões. Também em muitos outros sítios a vossa fé em Deus se tornou conhecida que nem precisamos de falar dela às pessoas, 9 pois elas próprias testemunham de como fomos recebidos por vocês e como se converteram a Deus e abandonaram os ídolos para servirem o Deus vivo e verdadeiro. 10 E falam da vossa esperança no regresso dos céus do Filho de Deus, Jesus, a quem o Pai ressuscitou da morte. Foi ele quem nos livrou do julgamento futuro.
1 Thessalonians 1
World English Bible
1 Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the assembly of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:[a] Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2 We always give thanks to God for all of you, mentioning you in our prayers, 3 remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and perseverance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father. 4 We know, brothers[b] loved by God, that you are chosen, 5 and that our Good News came to you not in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit and with much assurance. You know what kind of men we showed ourselves to be among you for your sake. 6 You became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit, 7 so that you became an example to all who believe in Macedonia and in Achaia. 8 For from you the word of the Lord has been declared, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God has gone out, so that we need not to say anything. 9 For they themselves report concerning us what kind of a reception we had from you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God, 10 and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead: Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come.
1 Thessalonians 1
New King James Version
Greeting
1 Paul, (A)Silvanus, and Timothy,
To the church of the (B)Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:
Grace to you and peace [a]from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Their Good Example
2 (C)We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers, 3 remembering without ceasing (D)your work of faith, (E)labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father, 4 knowing, beloved brethren, (F)your election by God. 5 For (G)our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power, (H)and in the Holy Spirit (I)and in much assurance, as you know what kind of men we were among you for your sake.
6 And (J)you became followers of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, (K)with joy of the Holy Spirit, 7 so that you became examples to all in Macedonia and Achaia who believe. 8 For from you the word of the Lord (L)has sounded forth, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also (M)in every place. Your faith toward God has gone out, so that we do not need to say anything. 9 For they themselves declare concerning us (N)what manner of entry we had to you, (O)and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, 10 and (P)to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus who delivers us (Q)from the wrath to come.
