The Letter to the Gentile Believers

²² Then the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, decided to select men who were among them and to send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas: Judas, called Barsabbas, and Silas,^(A) both leading men among the brothers.

¹⁹ For the Son of God,^(A) Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me and Silvanus^[a](B) and Timothy—did not become “Yes and no”; on the contrary, a final “Yes” has come in Him.^(C)

Greeting

1 Paul, Silvanus,^[a](A) and Timothy:^(B)

To the church of the Thessalonians^(C) in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

¹² I have written you this brief letter through Silvanus^[a](A) (I know him to be a faithful brother) to encourage you and to testify that this is the true grace of God. Take your stand in it!
