1Paul, 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.
2ܡܘܕܝܢܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܥܠ ܟܠܟܘܢ ܘܡܬܕܟܪܝܢܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܨܠܘܬܢ ܐܡܝܢܐܝܬ ܀
2We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;
3ܘܥܗܕܝܢܢ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܐ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܘܢ ܘܥܡܠܐ ܕܚܘܒܟܘܢ ܘܡܤܝܒܪܢܘܬܐ ܕܤܒܪܟܘܢ ܕܒܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀
3Remembering 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;
4ܝܕܥܝܢܢ ܓܝܪ ܓܒܝܘܬܟܘܢ ܐܚܝ ܚܒܝܒܘܗܝ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀
4Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.
5ܡܛܠ ܕܡܤܒܪܢܘܬܢ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܡܠܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܗܘܬ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܐܦ ܒܚܝܠܐ ܘܒܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܘܒܦܝܤܐ ܫܪܝܪܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܗܘܝܢ ܒܝܢܬܟܘܢ ܡܛܠܬܟܘܢ ܀
5For 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.
6ܘܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܢ ܐܬܕܡܝܬܘܢ ܘܒܡܪܢ ܕܩܒܠܬܘܢ ܡܠܬܐ ܒܐܘܠܨܢܐ ܪܒܐ ܘܒܚܕܘܬܐ ܕܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܀
6And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost.
7ܘܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܕܡܘܬܐ ܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܡܩܕܘܢܝܐ ܘܒܐܟܐܝܐ ܀
7So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.
8ܡܢܟܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܐܫܬܡܥܬ ܡܠܬܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܠܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܒܡܩܕܘܢܝܐ ܘܒܐܟܐܝܐ ܐܠܐ ܒܟܠ ܐܬܪ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܘܢ ܕܒܐܠܗܐ ܐܫܬܡܥܬ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܤܬܢܩ ܕܢܐܡܪ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܀
8For 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.
9ܗܢܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܡܫܬܥܝܢ ܐܝܢܐ ܡܥܠܢܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܢ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܘܐܝܟܢܐ ܐܬܦܢܝܬܘܢ ܠܘܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܡܢ ܕܚܠܬ ܦܬܟܪܐ ܕܬܦܠܚܘܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܚܝܐ ܘܫܪܝܪܐ ܀
9For 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;
10ܟܕ ܡܤܟܝܬܘܢ ܠܒܪܗ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܗܘ ܕܐܩܝܡ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ ܕܗܘ ܡܦܨܐ ܠܢ ܡܢ ܪܘܓܙܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܀
10And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
