1 Thessalonians 1:3-5

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³ Being mindful of the work of your faith, and labour, and charity, and of the enduring of the hope of our Lord Jesus Christ before God and our Father:

⁴ Knowing, brethren beloved of God, your election:

⁵ For our gospel hath not been unto you in word only, but in power also, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much fulness, as you know what manner of men we have been among you for your sakes.
