          DASV: 1 Thessalonians 1

1 From Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy;
To the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and
the Lord Jesus Christ:
Grace and peace to you.
2 We always thank God for all of you, making mention of you in
our prayers.
3 We constantly remember before our God and Father, your work
of faith, labor of love and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus
Christ.
4 We know, brothers, beloved by God, that he has chosen you,
5 because our gospel did not come to you merely in words, but also
in power, and in the Holy Spirit with full assurance. You know
what kind of people we showed ourselves to be for your sake.
6 And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received
the word in great affliction, yet with the joy of the Holy Spirit.
7 So you became an example to all who believe in Macedonia and
Achaia.
8 For the word of the Lord rang out from you, not only in Macedonia
and Achaia, but in every place your faith in God has gone forth,
so that we do not need to say anything.
9 For people everywhere report how you welcomed us, and how you
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,
Jesus, the one who rescues us from the wrath to come.
