knowing, brethren beloved by God, your election.

We know, dear brothers and sisters,b that God loves you and has chosen you to be his own people.

For our glad tidings were not with you in word only, but also in power, and in [the] Holy Spirit, and in much assurance; even as ye know what we were among you for your sakes:

For when we brought you the Good News, it was not only with words but also with power, for the Holy Spirit gave you full assurancec that what we said was true. And you know of our concern for you from the way we lived when we were with you.

for the word of the Lord sounded out from you, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith which [is] towards God has gone abroad, so that we have no need to say anything;

And now the word of the Lord is ringing out from you to people everywhere, even beyond Macedonia and Achaia, for wherever we go we find people telling us about your faith in God. We don’t need to tell them about it,

for they themselves relate concerning us what entering in we had to you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God,

for they keep talking about the wonderful welcome you gave us and how you turned away from idols to serve the living and true God.

and to await his Son from the heavens, whom he raised from among the dead, Jesus, our deliverer from the coming wrath.

And they speak of how you are looking forward to the coming of God’s Son from heaven — Jesus, whom God raised from the dead. He is the one who has rescued us from the terrors of the coming judgment.
