All hail the power of Jesus' name,
let angels prostrate fall.
| 1 Thessalonians 1:6 | And you became imitators of us and of the (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) Lord, for you accepted the (ton | τόν | acc sg masc) word in the midst of much affliction, with the joy of the Holy Spirit. |
| 1 Thessalonians 1:7 | So you became an example for all the (tois | τοῖς | dat pl masc) believers in Macedonia and in Achaia. |
| 1 Thessalonians 1:8 | The (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) word of (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) the (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) Lord has echoed forth from you not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith in God has become known, so we have no need to say anything. |
| 1 Thessalonians 1:9 | For they themselves report regarding us what kind of reception we had among you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, |
| 1 Thessalonians 1:10 | and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the (tōn | τῶν | gen pl masc) dead, Jesus, our deliverer from the (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) coming wrath. |
| 1 Thessalonians 2:1 | For you yourselves know, brothers, that our coming to you was not in vain. |
| 1 Thessalonians 2:2 | We had previously suffered and been shamefully treated in Philippi, as you know, but we had the courage in our God to declare to you the (to | τό | acc sg neut) gospel of (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) God in spite of great opposition. |
| 1 Thessalonians 2:3 | For our appeal was not based on deceit, nor did it rise from impure motives or by way of trickery, |
| 1 Thessalonians 2:4 | but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the (to | τό | acc sg neut) gospel, so we speak, not to please man, but God who (tō | τῷ | dat sg masc) tests our hearts. |
| 1 Thessalonians 2:7 | Although we could have made demands as apostles of Christ, we were gentle among you, like a mother tenderly nursing her own children. |
| 1 Thessalonians 2:8 | So deep was our affection for you that we were pleased to share with you not only the (to | τό | acc sg neut) gospel of (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) God but our own selves as well, so dear had you become to us. |
| 1 Thessalonians 2:9 | For you recall, brothers, our labor and toil. We worked night and day so as not to become a burden to any of you, while proclaiming to you the (to | τό | acc sg neut) gospel of (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) God. |
| 1 Thessalonians 2:10 | You are witnesses, and so is God, how devout, upright, and blameless was our conduct toward you believers — |
| 1 Thessalonians 2:12 | So we exhorted you, encouraged you, and charged you to conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) God, who (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) calls you into his own kingdom and glory. |
| 1 Thessalonians 2:13 | And for this reason we also constantly thank God, that when you received the word of (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) God which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it truly is, the word of God, which even now is doing its work in you who (tois | τοῖς | dat pl masc) believe. |
| 1 Thessalonians 2:14 | For you, brothers, became imitators of the (tōn | τῶν | gen pl fem) churches of (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) God in Christ Jesus which (tōn | τῶν | gen pl fem) are in Judea; because you too suffered the (ta | τά | acc pl neut) same things from your own countrymen, even as they did from the (tōn | τῶν | gen pl masc) Jews, |
| 1 Thessalonians 2:15 | who (tōn | τῶν | gen pl masc) killed the (ton | τόν | acc sg masc) Lord Jesus and the (tous | τούς | acc pl masc) prophets, and have driven us out, who are displeasing to God and oppose all mankind, |
| 1 Thessalonians 2:16 | who prevent us from speaking to the (tois | τοῖς | dat pl neut) Gentiles that they might be saved. Their goal has always been to complete the full number of their sins. But God’s wrath has caught up with them at last! |
| 1 Thessalonians 2:17 | As for us, brothers, when we were separated from you for a short time — in person but not in heart — we were all the more eager, with intense longing, to see you in person. |
| 1 Thessalonians 2:18 | For we wanted to come to you — I, Paul, time and again — but Satan hindered us. |
| 1 Thessalonians 2:19 | For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing before our Lord Jesus at his coming? Is it not indeed you? |
| 1 Thessalonians 2:20 | Yes, you are our glory and joy! |
| 1 Thessalonians 3:2 | and we sent Timothy, our brother and coworker for (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) God in the (tō | τῷ | dat sg neut) gospel of (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) Christ, to establish and encourage you in your faith, |
| 1 Thessalonians 3:3 | so (to | τό | acc sg neut) that no one would be moved by these afflictions. For you yourselves know that we were destined for this. |
| 1 Thessalonians 3:5 | So because I could bear it no longer, I sent to find out about (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) your faith; for fear that somehow the (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) tempter had tempted you and our labor had been in vain. |
