1 Thessalonicher 1
Neue Genfer Übersetzung
Absender und Empfänger des Briefes. Segenswunsch
1 Paulus, Silvanus und Timotheus an die Gemeinde in Thessalonich. Euch allen, die ihr Gott, dem Vater, und Jesus Christus, dem Herrn, gehört, wünschen wir[a] Gnade und Frieden.
Die gute Aufnahme des Evangeliums in Thessalonich
2 Es vergeht kein Tag, an dem wir Gott nicht für euch alle danken. Jedes Mal, wenn wir im Gebet vor ihm, unserem Vater, für euch einstehen, 3 erinnern wir uns daran, wie entschieden ihr euren Glauben in die Tat umsetzt, zu welch unermüdlichem Einsatz ihr aus Liebe bereit seid und wie standhaft euch die Hoffnung macht, dass Jesus Christus, unser Herr, wiederkommt[b].
4 Ja, Geschwister, ihr seid von Gott geliebt; wir wissen, dass er euch erwählt hat. 5 Das wurde schon damals deutlich, als wir euch das Evangelium verkündeten: Gott redete nicht nur durch unsere Worte zu euch, sondern auch durch das machtvolle Wirken[c] des Heiligen Geistes und durch die große Zuversicht, die uns erfüllte[d], sowie überhaupt durch unser ganzes Verhalten euch gegenüber, das euch zeigte, dass es uns um euch ging und nicht um uns selbst.[e] 6 Und ihr habt das Evangelium auch wirklich angenommen, obwohl ihr schweren Anfeindungen ausgesetzt wart, und habt diese mit einer Freude ertragen[f], wie nur der Heilige Geist sie schenken kann. Damit seid ihr unserem Beispiel und dem Beispiel des Herrn gefolgt 7 und seid selbst zu einem Vorbild für alle Gläubigen in ´den Provinzen` Mazedonien und Achaia geworden. 8 Ja, von eurer Gemeinde aus hat sich die Botschaft des Herrn in ganz Mazedonien und Achaia verbreitet, und nicht nur dort: Es gibt inzwischen kaum noch einen Ort, wo man nicht von eurem Glauben an Gott gehört hätte. Wir brauchen gar nichts mehr darüber zu sagen; 9 überall redet man davon, was für eine Wirkung unser Besuch bei euch gehabt hat[g]. Die Leute erzählen, wie ihr euch von den Götzen abgewandt und dem lebendigen und wahren Gott zugewandt habt, um ihm zu dienen 10 und auf seinen Sohn zu warten, der vom Himmel zurückkommen wird – auf Jesus, den er von den Toten auferweckt hat und der uns vor dem kommenden Gericht[h] rettet.

Greeting
1 Paul, (A)Silvanus, and Timothy,
To the church of the (B)Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:
Grace to you and peace [a]from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Their Good Example
2 (C)We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers, 3 remembering without ceasing (D)your work of faith, (E)labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father, 4 knowing, beloved brethren, (F)your election by God. 5 For (G)our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power, (H)and in the Holy Spirit (I)and in much assurance, as you know what kind of men we were among you for your sake.
6 And (J)you became followers of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, (K)with joy of the Holy Spirit, 7 so that you became examples to all in Macedonia and Achaia who believe. 8 For from you the word of the Lord (L)has sounded forth, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also (M)in every place. Your faith toward God has gone out, so that we do not need to say anything. 9 For they themselves declare concerning us (N)what manner of entry we had to you, (O)and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, 10 and (P)to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus who delivers us (Q)from the wrath to come.
