KJB-1611 1 The Thessalonians are giuen to vnderstand both how mindfull of them S. Paul was at all times in thanks-giuing, & prayer: 5 and also how well he was perswaded of the truth, and sinceritie of their faith, & conuersion to God.
(1 The Thessalonians are given to understand both how mindfull of them S. Paul was at all times in thanks-giuing, and prayer: 5 and also how well he was perswaded of the truth, and sinceritie of their faith, and conuersion to God.)
1. Opening and blessing (1:1)2. Giving thanks for the Thessalonians (1:2–10) * A prayer of thanks (1:2–5) * The Thessalonians as examples (1:6–10)Verse 1 formally introduces this letter. Letters in the ancient Near East commonly had introductions of this type in which the senders identified themselves and the recipient and then gave a greeting.
God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are mentioned numerous times in this chapter. Paul can speak of each of them individually, but he describes them working together as God. Make sure that your translation distinguishes between Father, Son, and Holy Spirit but still identifies them as God.
In 1:8, Paul describes how the Thessalonians became “imitators” of the apostles and of Jesus. They became “imitators” when they suffered but still experienced joy from the Holy Spirit. Paul then describes how this behavior made them “examples” for other believers to imitate (see 1:7–8). Make sure that your translation indicates that the Thessalonians are imitating the apostles and Christ, which means that other people should imitate them.
In 1:10, Paul refers to the “second coming,” a specific day in the future in which Jesus will come back to earth, all dead people will come back to life, the world will be renewed, and God will judge people, punishing those who have sinned but rewarding those who believe in Jesus and obey him. Paul’s focus in this verse is especially on God’s judgment. Consider whether your readers will infer this information from what Paul says in 1:10 or whether you should include some of this implied information.
