1 Thessalonians 1:3-5

Revised Geneva Translation

³ unceasingly remembering your work of faith and diligent love and the patience of your hope in our Lord Jesus Christ (in the sight of God our Father),

⁴ knowing - beloved brothers - that you are the Elect of God.

⁵ For our Gospel did not come to you in word only, but in power also and in the Holy Ghost and much certainty (as you know how we behaved among you for your sakes).
