Pavao, Silvan i Timotej Crkvi Solunjana u Bogu Ocu i Gospodinu Isusu Kristu. Milost vam i mir! Zahvaljujemo uvijek Bogu za sve vas i bez prestanka vas se sjećamo u svojim molitvama spominjući se vaše djelotvorne vjere, zauzete ljubavi i postojane nade u Gospodinu našem Isusu Kristu, pred Bogom i Ocem našim. Svjesni smo, braćo od Boga ljubljena, vašeg izabranja jer evanđelje naše nije k vama došlo samo u riječi nego i u snazi, u Duhu Svetome i mnogostrukoj punini. Takvi smo, kao što znate, poradi vas među vama bili. I vi postadoste nasljedovatelji naši i Gospodinovi: sve u nevolji mnogoj prigrliste Riječ s radošću Duha Svetoga tako da postadoste uzorom svim vjernicima u Makedoniji i Ahaji. Od vas je doista ne samo riječ Gospodnja odjeknula po Makedoniji i Ahaji, nego se i vaša vjera u Boga posvuda tako proširila te nije potrebno da o tome govorimo. Oni sami o nama pripovijedaju: kako dođosmo k vama, kako se od idola obratiste k Bogu da biste služili Bogu živomu i istinskomu i iščekivali s nebesa Sina njegova koga uskrisi od mrtvih, Isusa koji nas izbavlja od gnjeva što dolazi.
