1 Paul, G3972 and G2532 Silvanus, G4610 and G2532 Timotheus, G5095 unto the church G1577 of the Thessalonians G2331 which is in G1722 God G2316 the Father G3962 and G2532 in the Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ: G5547 Grace G5485 be unto you, G5213 and G2532 peace, G1515 from G575 God G2316 our G2257 Father, G3962 and G2532 the Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ. G5547
Paul, G3972 and G2532 Silvanus, G4610 and G2532 Timotheus, G5095 unto the church G1577 of the Thessalonians G2331 in G1722 God G2316 our G2257 Father G3962 and G2532 the Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ: G5547
To all G3956 that be G5607 in G1722 Rome, G4516 beloved G27 of God, G2316 called G2822 to be saints: G40 Grace G5485 to you G5213 and G2532 peace G1515 from G575 God G2316 our G2257 Father, G3962 and G2532 the Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ. G5547
For G1063 the Son G5207 of God, G2316 Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 who G3588 was preached G2784 among G1722 you G5213 by G1223 us, G2257 even by G1223 me G1700 and G2532 Silvanus G4610 and G2532 Timotheus, G5095 was G1096 not G3756 yea G3483 and G2532 nay, G3756 but G235 in G1722 him G846 was G1096 yea. G3483
And G1161 when G5613 G5037 Silas G4609 and G2532 Timotheus G5095 were come G2718 from G575 Macedonia, G3109 Paul G3972 was pressed G4912 in the spirit, G4151 and testified G1263 to the Jews G2453 that Jesus G2424 was Christ. G5547
By G1223 Silvanus, G4610 a faithful G4103 brother G80 unto you, G5213 as G5613 I suppose, G3049 I have written G1125 briefly, G1223 G3641 exhorting, G3870 and G2532 testifying G1957 that this G5026 is G1511 the true G227 grace G5485 of God G2316 wherein G1519 G3739 ye stand. G2476
Jude, G2455 the servant G1401 of Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 and G1161 brother G80 of James, G2385 to them that are sanctified G37 by G1722 God G2316 the Father, G3962 and G2532 preserved G5083 in Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 and called: G2822
That which G3739 we have seen G3708 and G2532 heard G191 declare we G518 unto you, G5213 that G2443 ye G5210 also G2532 may have G2192 fellowship G2842 with G3326 us: G2257 and G2532 truly our G2251 fellowship G2842 G1161 is with G3326 the Father, G3962 and G2532 with G3326 his G846 Son G5207 Jesus G2424 Christ. G5547
To Timothy, G5095 my dearly beloved G27 son: G5043 Grace, G5485 mercy, G1656 and peace, G1515 from G575 God G2316 the Father G3962 and G2532 Christ G5547 Jesus G2424 our G2257 Lord. G2962
Paul G3972 and G2532 Timotheus, G5095 the servants G1401 of Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 to all G3956 the saints G40 in G1722 Christ G5547 Jesus G2424 which are G5607 at G1722 Philippi, G5375 with G4862 the bishops G1985 and G2532 deacons: G1249
We have sent G649 therefore G3767 Judas G2455 and G2532 Silas, G4609 who G846 shall G518 also G2532 tell G518 you the same things G846 by G1223 mouth. G3056
Paul, G3972 an apostle G652 of Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 by G1223 the will G2307 of God, G2316 and G2532 Timothy G5095 our brother, G80 unto the church G1577 of God G2316 which G3588 is G5607 at G1722 Corinth, G2882 with G4862 all G3956 the saints G40 which G3588 are G5607 in G1722 all G3650 Achaia: G882
Unto the church G1577 of God G2316 which G3588 is G5607 at G1722 Corinth, G2882 to them that are sanctified G37 in G1722 Christ G5547 Jesus, G2424 called G2822 to be saints, G40 with G4862 all G3956 that in G1722 every G3956 place G5117 call upon G1941 the name G3686 of Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 our G2257 Lord, G2962 both G5037 theirs G846 and G2532 ours: G2257
And G1161 there accompanied G4902 him G846 into G891 Asia G773 Sopater G4986 of Berea; G961 and G1161 of the Thessalonians, G2331 Aristarchus G708 and G2532 Secundus; G4580 and G2532 Gaius G1050 of Derbe, G1190 and G2532 Timotheus; G5095 and G1161 of Asia, G774 Tychicus G5190 and G2532 Trophimus. G5161
So G1161 he sent G649 into G1519 Macedonia G3109 two G1417 of them that ministered G1247 unto him, G846 Timotheus G5095 and G2532 Erastus; G2037 but he himself G846 stayed G1907 in G1519 Asia G773 for a season. G5550
But G1161 when G5613 the Jews G2453 of G575 Thessalonica G2332 had knowledge G1097 that G3754 G2532 the word G3056 of God G2316 was preached G2605 of G5259 Paul G3972 at G1722 Berea, G960 they came G2064 thither also, G2546 and stirred up G4531 the people. G3793 And G1161 then G5119 immediately G2112 the brethren G80 sent away G1821 Paul G3972 to go G4198 as it were G5613 to G1909 the sea: G2281 but G1161 G5037 Silas G4609 and G2532 Timotheus G5095 abode G5278 there G1563 still. G5278 And G1161 they that conducted G2525 Paul G3972 brought G71 him G846 unto G2193 Athens: G116 and G2532 receiving G2983 a commandment G1785 unto G4314 Silas G4609 and G2532 Timotheus G5095 for to G2443 come G2064 to G4314 him G846 with all speed, G5613 G5033 they departed. G1826
G1161 These G3778 were G2258 more noble G2104 than those in G1722 Thessalonica, G2332 in that they G3748 received G1209 the word G3056 with G3326 all G3956 readiness of mind, G4288 and searched G350 the scriptures G1124 daily, G2250 G2596 whether G1487 those things G5023 were G2192 so. G3779
Now G1161 when they had passed through G1353 Amphipolis G295 and G2532 Apollonia, G624 they came G2064 to G1519 Thessalonica, G2332 where G3699 was G2258 a synagogue G4864 of the Jews: G2453 And G1161 Paul, G3972 as G2596 his manner was, G1486 went in G1525 unto G4314 them, G846 and G2532 G1909 three G5140 sabbath G4521 days reasoned G1256 with them G846 out of G575 the scriptures, G1124 Opening G1272 and G2532 alleging, G3908 that G3754 Christ G5547 must needs G1163 have suffered, G3958 and G2532 risen again G450 from G1537 the dead; G3498 and G2532 that G3754 this G3778 Jesus, G2424 whom G3739 I G1473 preach G2605 unto you, G5213 is G2076 Christ. G5547 And G2532 some G5100 of G1537 them G846 believed, G3982 and G2532 consorted G4345 with Paul G3972 and G2532 Silas; G4609 and G5037 of the devout G4576 Greeks G1672 a great G4183 multitude, G4128 and G5037 of the chief G4413 women G1135 not G3756 a few. G3641 But G1161 the Jews G2453 which believed not, G544 moved with envy, G2206 G2532 took unto them G4355 certain G5100 lewd G4190 fellows G435 of the baser sort, G60 and G2532 gathered a company, G3792 and set all G2350 the city G4172 on an uproar, G2350 and G5037 assaulted G2186 the house G3614 of Jason, G2394 and sought G2212 to bring G71 them G846 out G1519 to the people. G1218 And G1161 when they found G2147 them G846 not, G3361 they drew G4951 Jason G2394 and G2532 certain G5100 brethren G80 unto G1909 the rulers of the city, G4173 crying, G994 G3754 These G3778 that have turned G387 the world G3625 upside down G387 are come G3918 hither G1759 also; G2532 Whom G3739 Jason G2394 hath received: G5264 and G2532 these G3778 all G3956 do G4238 contrary G561 to the decrees G1378 of Caesar, G2541 saying G3004 that there is G1511 another G2087 king, G935 one Jesus. G2424 And G1161 they troubled G5015 the people G3793 and G2532 the rulers of the city, G4173 when they heard G191 these things. G5023 And G2532 when they had taken G2983 security G2425 of G3844 Jason, G2394 and G2532 of the other, G3062 they let G630 them G846 go. G630
And G1161 at G2596 midnight G3317 Paul G3972 and G2532 Silas G4609 prayed, G4336 and sang praises G5214 unto God: G2316 and G1161 the prisoners G1198 heard G1874 them. G846
And G1161 when her G846 masters G2962 saw G1492 that G3754 the hope G1680 of their G846 gains G2039 was gone, G1831 they caught G1949 Paul G3972 and G2532 Silas, G4609 and drew G1670 them into G1519 the marketplace G58 unto G1909 the rulers, G758
Then G1161 came he G2658 to G1519 Derbe G1191 and G2532 Lystra: G3082 and, G2532 behold, G2400 a certain G5100 disciple G3101 was G2258 there, G1563 named G3686 Timotheus, G5095 the son G5207 of a certain G5100 woman, G1135 which was a Jewess, G2453 and believed; G4103 but G1161 his father G3962 was a Greek: G1672 Which G3739 was well reported G3140 of by G5259 the brethren G80 that were at G1722 Lystra G3082 and G2532 Iconium. G2430 Him G5126 would G2309 Paul G3972 have to go forth G1831 with G4862 him; G846 and G2532 took G2983 and circumcised G4059 him G846 because G1223 of the Jews G2453 which G3588 were G5607 in G1722 those G1565 quarters: G5117 for G1063 they knew G1492 all G537 that G3754 his G846 father G3962 was G5225 a Greek. G1672
And G1161 Paul G3972 chose G1951 Silas, G4609 and departed, G1831 being recommended G3860 by G5259 the brethren G80 unto the grace G5485 of God. G2316
And Judas G2455 and G2532 Silas, G4609 being G5607 prophets G4396 also G2532 themselves, G846 exhorted G3870 the brethren G80 with G1223 many G4183 words, G3056 and G2532 confirmed G1991 them. And G1161 after they had tarried G4160 there a space, G5550 they were let go G630 in G3326 peace G1515 from G575 the brethren G80 unto G4314 the apostles. G652
