Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
ὑμεῖς & ἐγενήθητε
you_all & /were/_become
For emphasis, Paul is stating the pronoun you, which is already implied in the verb became. If your language can state implied pronouns explicitly for emphasis, you may want to use that construction in your translation. Other languages may have other ways of bringing out this emphasis. The ULT does so by using the intensive pronoun yourselves. Alternate translation: “it is you who became”
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-time-simultaneous
δεξάμενοι
/having/_received
Here, the phrase having received could introduce: (1) the way in which the Thessalonians became imitators. Alternate translation: “that is, you received” (2) when the Thessalonians became imitators. Alternate translation: “which you did when you received”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τὸν λόγον
the word
Here, the word represents a message that is made up of words, specifically the gospel. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: “the gospel message” or “the words of the gospel”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἐν θλίψει πολλῇ
in tribulation much
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of affliction, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: “while being afflicted” or “while people made you suffer”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
μετὰ χαρᾶς Πνεύματος Ἁγίου
with /the/_joy ˱of˲_/the/_Spirit Holy
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of joy, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: “rejoicing because of the Holy Spirit”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
μετὰ χαρᾶς Πνεύματος Ἁγίου
with /the/_joy ˱of˲_/the/_Spirit Holy
Here, Paul is using the possessive form to describe joy that is given by the Holy Spirit. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: “with joy from the Holy Spirit” or “with joy given by the Holy Spirit”
1:6 Because they accepted the Good News, the Thessalonians experienced severe suffering from their contemporaries (2:14; 3:3-4). Yet as they followed the model of the apostles and of the Lord himself (Matt 5:11-12; Rom 8:17; 12:12; Phil 2:17), they received joy from the Holy Spirit (1 Pet 4:13-14).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
