1 Thessalonians 1:3

Context
1:3 because we recall 1  in the presence of our God and Father 2  your work of faith and labor of love and endurance of hope 3  in our Lord Jesus Christ.

1 tn Grk “making mention…recalling.” The participle ποιούμενοι (poioumenoi) in v. 2 has been translated as temporal, and μνημονεύοντες (mnhmoneuonte") in v. 3 has been translated as causal.

2 tn Or the phrase may connect at the end of the verse: “hope…in the presence of our God and Father.”

3 tn These phrases denote Christian virtues in action: the work produced by faith, labor motivated by love, and endurance that stems from hope in Christ.
