This keepsake hard cover edition of The First Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the THESSALONIANS was taken from the King James translation of the Bible. The King James Translation is a masterwork of style, and the most important book in the English language, it has been the driving force in shaping the English-speaking world for hundreds of years. In First Thessalonians Paul gives thanks for the news about the Thessalonians faith and love; he reminds them of the kind of life he lived while he was with them. He stresses how honorably he conducted himself, reminding them that he had worked to earn his keep, taking great pains not to burden anyone. Paul then goes on to explain that the dead will be resurrected prior to those still living, and both groups will greet the Lord in the air. First THESSALONIANS is one of the shortest books in the bible and is sold at or near the publisher's cost and offered up for the collector who wished to have an unbroken set of this keepsake editions.
