Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, to the Assembly, of the Thessalonians, which is in Elohim, and in our Lord, Yeshua, the Messiah, Grace, be unto you, and Peace, from Elohim, our Father, through our Lord, Yeshua, the Messiah. We give Thanks to Elohim, at all Times, on account of you all, and Remember you Continually, in our Prayers. And we Call to Mind, before Elohim, the Father, the Works Produced, by your believing, and the Toil, of your Love, and the Patience, of your Hope, in our Lord, Yeshua, the Messiah. For we Know Brothers, Loved by Elohim, that he has Chosen you, because our Gospel, came to you, not Simply with Words, but also with Power, through Elohim, and with Deep Conviction. You Know how we, Lived among you, for your sake, you became Imitators, of us, and of our Lord, in spite of Severe Suffering. You Welcomed the Message, with the Joy, given by Elohim, thus you have become a Pattern, for all the believers, who are in Macedonia, and Achaia. For from you, the Word, of Elohim, Rang out from you, not only in Macedonia, and Achaia, but in every Place your believing, in Elohim, is Heard of. So that we, have no need to say anything, concerning you, for these People themselves, relate how we, Entered First among you, and how you turned to Elohim, from the Worship, of Idols, to Serve the Living, and True Elohim. While you Wait, for his Son, from Heaven, that Yeshua, whom he Raised, from among, the Dead, who Delivered us, from the Wrath, to come. You Know Brothers, that our Visit to you, was not a Failure, but from the Beginning, we Suffered, and were Treated Shamefully, in Philippi, as you Know, but with the Help, of our Elohim, we dared to Tell you, his Gospel, in spite, of Strong Opposition. For our Comfort, did not Spring, from Deception, nor from Impurity, nor from Enticing Speech, but just as we, have been Examined, by Elohim, to be Entrusted, with his Gospel, even so we Speak, not to Please Men, but to Please Elohim, who Searches our Minds, you Know we, never used Flattery, nor did we put on a Mask, to Cover up Greed, Elohim, is our Witness. And we have not Sought, Support from Men, neither from you, nor from others, when we, could have been Burdensome, on you, for our Maintenance, as the Apostles, of Elohim should be, but we were Gentle, among you, like a Mother, caring for her Little Children. Likewise, we are Affectionately Desirous, to give you, not only the Gospel, of Elohim, but our Lives, as well, because you had become, so Dear to us. Surely you Remember, Brothers, our Toil, and Hardship, we Worked Night, and Day, with our Hands, in order not to be a Burden, to anyone, while we Preached, the Gospel, of Elohim to you.

You are Witnesses, and also Elohim, how we Preached to you, the Gospel, of Elohim, Purely, and Righteously, and we Lived Blamelessly, towards all them, that believe, You Know how we Exhorted, and Encouraged, and Charged everyone of you, as a Father, does his Children, and we Bore, the Testimony to you, so that you may Live, a Life Worthy, of Elohim, who has Called you, to his Kingdom, and Glory. For this cause, also we Thank Elohim, Continually, because when you, received the Word, of Elohim, which you Heard, from us, you received it, not as the Word, of Men, but as it, is in Truth, the Word, of Elohim, which Works Effectively in you, who believe. For you my Brothers, have taken the Pattern, of the Assemblies, of Elohim, in Judah, which are in the Messiah, Yeshua, for also you have Suffered, from the People, of your own Tribe, even as they have Suffered, from the Israelites, who Killed, our Lord, Yeshua, and the Prophets, and also Drove us out. They Displease Elohim, and are Hostile, to all Men, Forbidding us, to Speak to the Gentiles, that they might be Saved. Adding this, to their Sins always, but the Wrath, of Elohim, is upon them, to the Uttermost. But we Brothers, have been Deprived, of your Affection, for a Little while, yet only in Presence, and not in Mind, so we have with Great Love, Vigorously Endeavored, to See your Faces, and we have wanted, to come to you, I Paul, once, and again, but Satan Hindered me. For what is our Hope, and our Joy, and the Crown, of our Glorying, unless it be you, before our Lord, Yeshua, at his coming, indeed you are our Glory, and Joy, and because we could no longer, Endure it, we were willing, to be left alone, at Athens. We sent Timothy, who is our Brother, a Minister, of Elohim, and our Helper, in the Announcement, of the Messiah, that he might Strengthen you, and Inquire, of you, Respecting, your believing, so that no one, would be Unsettled, by these Trials. You Know quite well, that this is our Destiny, in fact when we were with you, we kept Telling you, that we would be Persecuted, and it turned out that way, as you well Know. For this reason, when I could not be Quiet, I sent Timothy, to find out about your believing, I was Afraid, that in some way, the Tempter, might have Tempted you, and our Efforts, might have been useless, but now since Timothy has come to us, from among you, and has Informed us, Respecting your believing, and your Love, and that you have a good Remembrance, of us, at all Times, and that you Desire, to See us, just as we also long, to See you. Therefore Brothers, in all our Distress, and Persecution, we were Encouraged about you, because of your believing, and now we Live, if you Stand Fast, in our Lord. For what Thanks, can we render to Elohim, in your behalf, for all the Joy, with which we are Joyful, on your account, Night, and Day, we Pray most Earnestly, that we may See your Faces, and may Perfect, what is Lacking, in your believing. Now may our Elohim, and Father himself, through our Lord, Yeshua, Clear the way for us, to come to you, Increase, and Enlarge your Love, towards one another, and towards all Men, even as we Love you, and Establish your Minds, blameless, in Holiness, before Elohim, our Father, at the coming of our Lord, Yeshua, the Messiah.

Wherefore my Brothers, I entreat you Earnestly, and beseech you, through our Lord, Yeshua, that as you have been Taught, by us, how you ought to Walk, and to Please Elohim, so you would make Progress, more, and more. For you Know what Instructions, we gave you, by the Authority, of Elohim, for this is the Pleasure, of Elohim, even your Sanctification, that you should avoid Sexual Immorality, that each of you, should Learn to Control, his own Body, in Sanctification, and in Honor, and not through the Passion, of Lust, even as the Rest, of the Gentiles, who Know not Elohim. And that you Dare not, to Transgress, and to Overreach, anyone his Brother, in this matter, because Elohim, is the Avenger, of all these, as also we have Forewarned you, and Testified to you, in Time Past. For Elohim, did not Call you unto Impurity, but to Sanctification, therefore he who Rejects this Instruction, does not Reject Men, but Elohim, who has given his Power, in you. Now about Brotherly Love, we do not need to Write, to you, for you yourselves, have been Taught, by Elohim, to Love each other, and in Fact, you do Love all the Brothers, throughout Macedonia, yet we Urge you Brothers, to do so more, and more, make it your Ambition, to lead a Quit Life, to Mind your own Business, and to Work with your Hands, just as we Told you, so that your Daily Life, may win the Respect, of Outsiders, and so that you, will not be Dependent, on anybody.

Brothers, we do not want you, to be Ignorant, about those, who Fall Asleep, or to Grieve, like the Rest, of Men, who have no Hope. For if we believe, that Yeshua Died, and Rose again, even so them, who Sleep, Elohim will Raise, from among, the Dead, and this we Say, to you, by the Word, of Elohim, that we, who may Survive, and be Alive, at the coming, of our Lord, shall not overtake them, who have Slept. For our Lord himself, will come Down, from Heaven, with a Loud Command, with the Voice, of the Archangel, and with the Trumpet Call, of Elohim, and the Dead, in the Messiah, will Rise First, after that, we who are still Alive, and are Left, will be Caught up together, with them, in the Clouds, to meet our Lord, in the Air, and so shall we, Ever be, with our Lord. Therefore Encourage each other, with these Words. Now Brothers, about Times, and Seasons, we do not need to Write, to you, for you know Assuredly, that the Day, of our Lord, so comes as a Thief, by Night, while they will be Saying, Peace, and Tranquility, then Suddenly, Destruction will Burst, upon them, as Distress, upon a Child Bearer, and they will not Escape. But you my Brothers, are not in Darkness, that, that Day should Overtake you, as a Thief, for you, are all Children, of the Light, and Children, of the Day, and are not Children, of the Night, and Children, of Darkness. So then, let us not be like others, who are Asleep, but let us be Alert, and self Controlled, for they, who Sleep, Sleep in the Night, and they, who are Drunken, are Drunken in the Night, but since we, belong to the Day, let us be self Controlled, putting on believing, and Love, as a Breastplate, and the Hope, of Salvation, as a Helmet. For Elohim, has not Appointed us, to Wrath, but to the Acquisition, of Life, through our Lord, Yeshua, the Messiah, who Died for us, that whether we are Awake, or Asleep, we shall Live together, with him.

Therefore Encourage one another, and Build each other up, just as in fact, you are doing, and we Entreat you, my Brothers, that you Recognize them, who Labor among you, and who Stand, before your Faces, in our Lord, and Instruct you, that they may be Esteemed, by you, with Abundant Love, and on account of their Work. Live you in Harmony, with them, and we Urge you Brothers, Warn those, who are Idle, Encourage the Timid, Help the Weak, be Patient, with everyone, and Beware, lest any of you, return Evil, for Evil, but always Follow, good Deeds, towards one another, and towards all Men, and be Joyful always, and Pray without Ceasing, and in all Circumstances. Be Thankful, for this is the pleasure, of Elohim, through Yeshua, the Messiah, concerning you, do not put out, the Power's Fire, despise not Prophesying, Explore everything, and Hold Fast, the good, and Flee from everything Evil. And may the Elohim, of Peace, Sanctify you all, Perfectly, and keep Blameless, your whole Mind, and your Soul, and your Body, till the coming, of our Lord, Yeshua, the Messiah. Faithful is he, that has Called you, who will do it. Brothers Pray for us, Greet all the Brothers, with a Kiss, of Love, I Adjure you, by our Lord, that this Letter be Read, to all the Brothers. The Mind, of our Lord, Yeshua, the Messiah, be in you, believe.

This Letter is Dedicated to the
Memory, of my Teacher.
