καὶ διὰ τοῦτο καὶ ἡμεῖς εὐχαριστοῦμεν τῷ Θεῷ ἀδιαλείπτως, ὅτι

and because_of this also we /are/_giving_thanks ¬the ˱to˲_God unceasingly that

Here, the word this could refer to: (1) what Paul is about to write, which he introduces with the word that. Alternate translation: [And here is why we also thank God constantly: it is that] (2) what Paul has already written about how Paul and his fellow workers preached and how the Thessalonians welcomed them. Alternate translation: [And because of those things, we also thank God constantly, that]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

καὶ ἡμεῖς

and also we

Here, the word also could imply that: (1) Paul and his fellow workers thank God about the Thessalonians like other people do (see 1:8–10). Alternate translation: [we too] (2) Paul and his fellow workers are thanking God for additional things about the Thessalonians. Alternate translation: [we yet again]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

ἀδιαλείπτως

unceasingly

Paul says continually here as a generalization for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. See how you translated the similar form in 1:2. Alternate translation: [extremely often]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

λόγον ἀκοῆς & λόγον ἀνθρώπων & λόγον Θεοῦ

/the/_word ˱by˲_hearing & /the/_word ˱of˲_humans & /the/_word ˱of˲_God

In this verse, Paul uses the term word to mean a message that is spoken by using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the spoken message of hearing … something spoken by men … something spoken by God]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

λόγον ἀκοῆς παρ’ ἡμῶν τοῦ Θεοῦ

/the/_word ˱by˲_hearing from us ¬the ˱of˲_God

Here, Paul is using the possessive form to describe a word that he connects with hearing and with God. He could mean that: (1) the word allowed the Thessalonians to hear about God. Alternate translation: [the word in which you heard about God from us] (2) the word is what the Thessalonians heard from Paul and his fellow workers, and this word is about God. Alternate translation: [the word which you heard from us about God] (3) the word is from God, and the Thessalonians heard it from Paul and his fellow workers. Alternate translation: [the word from God which you heard from us]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ἀνθρώπων

˱of˲_humans

Although the term men is masculine, Paul is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: [of humans] or [of people]

Note 7 topic: writing-pronouns

ὃς

which

Here, the word translated which could refer to: (1) the word. Alternate translation: [which word] (2) God. Alternate translation: [who]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

ὃς καὶ ἐνεργεῖται

which also /is/_working

Here Paul refers to the word of God as if it were a person doing work. He means that God uses the word to work in the Thessalonians. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [through which God is also working] or [which is also effective]
