1 Pablo, y Silvano, y Timothéo á la Iglesia de los Thessalonicenses, en Dios Padre, y en el Señor Jesu-Christo. 2 Gracia sea á vosotros, y paz. Siempre damos gracias a Dios por todos vosotros, haciendo memoria de vosotros en nuestras oraciones sin cesar, 3 Acordándonos delante de Dios, y nuestro Padre, de la obra de vuestra fé, y del trabajo, y caridad, y de la paciencia de esperanza en nuestro Señor Jesu-Christo; 4 Como que sabemos, amados hermanos, que vuestra elección es de Dios: 5 Por quanto nuestro Evangelio no fué á vosotros tan solamente en palabra, mas también en virtud, y en Espíritu Santo, y en grande plenitud, como sabeis quales fuimos entre vosotros por vosotros. 6 Y vosotros os hicisteis imitadores nuestros, y del Señor, recibiendo la palabra con mucha tribulación, con gozo del Espíritu Santo: 7 De modo que os habeis hecho modelo á todos los que han creído en Macedonia, y en Achâya. 8 Porque por vosotros fué divulgada la palabra del Señor, no solo en Macedonia y en la Achâya, sino que se propagó por todas partes la fé que teneis en Dios, de modo que nosotros no tenemos necesidad de decir cosa alguna. 9 Porque ellos mismos publican de nosotros quál entrada tuvimos á vosotros; y cómo os convertisteis de los ídolos á Dios, para servir al Dios vivo y verdadero, 10 Y para esperar de los cielos á su Hijo Jesús, á quien resucitó de los muertos, el que nos libró de la ira, que ha de venir.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Wherefore then, when writing to the Ephesians, and having Timothy with him, did he not include him with himself (in his salutation), known as he was to them and admired, for he says, "Ye know the proof of him, that as a child serveth the father, so he served with me in the Gospel" (Philip. ii.
