NASB
"knowing, brethren beloved by God, His choice of you;"
— 1 Thessalonians 1:4, NASB
“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;”
“Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.”
Paul and Silvanus and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace.
We give thanks to God always for all of you, making mention of you in our prayers;
constantly bearing in mind your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the presence of our God and Father,
knowing, brethren beloved by God, His choice of you;
for our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction; just as you know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your sake.
You also became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much tribulation with the joy of the Holy Spirit,
so that you became an example to all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia.
