city

1 Thessalonians 1:1 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.  

1 Thessalonians 1:2 We give  thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in  our prayers;  

1 Thessalonians 1:3 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;   

1 Thessalonians 1:4  Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.   

1 Thessalonians 1:5 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.   

1 Thessalonians 1:6 And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord,  having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the  Holy Ghost: 

1 Thessalonians 1:7 So that ye were ensamples to all that  believe in Macedonia and Achaia. 

1 Thessalonians 1:8 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.  

1 Thessalonians 1:9 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; 

1 Thessalonians 1:10 And to  wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the  dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to  come.
