OET (OET-LV) Paulos, and Silouanos, and Timotheos, to_the assembly of_the_ones_from_Thessalonikaʸ, in god the_father of_us and the_master Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) chosen_one/messiah:
OET (OET-RV) This letter is from Paul, Silas, and Timothy.
¶ It’s written to the assembly of believers in God our father and the master Yeshua Messiah there in Thessalonica.
Note 1 topic: translate-names
Σιλουανὸς
Silvanus
Silvanus is the Latin form of “Silas.” Silvanus is the name of a man, the same person listed in the book of Acts as Paul’s fellow traveler. If your readers may not know that these two are the same person, you could use the name “Silas” in the text and “Silvanus” in the footnote.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
Παῦλος, καὶ Σιλουανὸς, καὶ Τιμόθεος; τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ
Paul and Silvanus and Timothy ˱to˲_the assembly
You may want to fill in the words necessary to make this a complete sentence. Alternate translation: [Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy send this letter to the church]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
Παῦλος, καὶ Σιλουανὸς, καὶ Τιμόθεος
Paul and Silvanus and Timothy
Although Paul wrote this letter, he identifies Silvanus and Timothy as also sending it. This means that they were with him and were in agreement with it. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could make that clear, as in the UST.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐν Θεῷ Πατρὶ ἡμῶν καὶ Κυρίῳ Ἰησοῦ Χριστῷ
in God /the/_Father ˱of˲_us and /the/_Lord Jesus Christ
Here Paul speaks of the believers as though they were occupying space inside of God and Jesus. This metaphor expresses the idea that believers are spiritually united to God and Jesus. If this might be misunderstood in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [united to God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ] or [sharing life with God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ]
1:1-2 Paul follows ancient letter writing customs, but instead of the normal greeting (Greek chairein) he blesses them with grace (Greek charis) and peace.

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