King James Version with Apocrypha
"Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God."
— 1 Thessalonians 1:4, King James Version with Apocrypha
“Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.”
“knowing, brethren beloved of God, your election, ”
“We know, brothers loved by God, that you are chosen,”
“We know, brothers and sisters loved by God, that he has chosen you,”
“Knowing, brethren, beloved of God, your election:”
“Being conscious, my brothers, dear to God, that you have been marked out by God's purpose;”
Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;
Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;
Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.
For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.
And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost:
So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.
