paraphrased ‘enter the story’
🕊️reading & study 🕊️
1 - From Paul, Silvanus/Silas, and Timothy, to the church/believers of Thessalonica. In God the Father and in the Lord Jesus - Grace to you! And peace.
2 We give thanks always, to God for you! And remember you in our prayers, especially when we think of 3 your faithful work, your loving deeds, and the enduring hope [elpis - expectation] you have because of our Lord Jesus Christ. 4 For we know, brothers and sisters, dearly beloved of God, that he has chosen you. 5 The proof is how our message [euaggelion - good news, the good news of the coming of the Messiah {past and future}] came to you, happening not only in word, but also with power, and in the Holy Spirit(/Presence of God). A full assurance.
You know how we were when we were among you. An example for your sake. 6 And so you became imitators of us, and of the Lord, for you received the message in the midst of much trouble, yet with joy of the Holy Spirit(/Presence of God) 7 so that you (in turn) became an example to all the believers in both Macedonia and in Achaia.

usually from biblehub dot com - peering through translator partial unbelief; cross references, etc.

Tomorrow - 1 Thessalonians 1:8-2:7
My own studies, had to paraphrase to post.. which has turned out to be an interesting way to ‘enter the ‘story’.
Start the day with a Psalm (jan 1-20, feb-20’s, mar-30’s, apr-40’s, etc. dec-120-150)
