Chapter Summaries of 1 Thessalonians

1 Paul, Silvanus and Timothy, to the Thessalonians. We give thanks for you. Our gospel came in power. Your faith is an example to all.

2 We shared the gospel with you and also our lives. You suffered like the churches in Judea. We tried to see you. Are you not our crown?

3 We sent Timothy to strengthen you. We warned you that persecution would come. We are encouraged by your faith. May you grow in love.

4 Live to please God. Avoid immorality. Love one another more and more. We do not grieve without hope, for the dead in Christ will rise.

5 The day of the Lord will come like a thief. Let us keep awake. Honour those who lead you. Do not quench the Spirit. Grace be with you.

They are written to help you understand and remember what's going on in the chapter, but they're no substitute for reading the Bible for yourself.
