The heart of chapter one is vv 3-10. 1-2 is greeting. 11-12 is a prayer for a continuance in what the Thessalonian church is already doing, and for God's continued grace upon them. Analyzing this section we see that the logical main point is Paul's giving of thanks for and boasting around about the Thessalonians. He is able to do this because of their faith under pressure. In talking about this faith and persevernce, Paul defends the justice of God. It would be natural for some of the Thessalonicans to wonder if God is righteous in allowing his children to suffer so. In fact the suffering and the church's perserverance under it is a token - endigma - of God's righteousness. I believe Paul supports this in two ways (I've linked them as a series). God's "krisis" judgement uses the circumstance of the trial to prove them worthy of the Kingdom (v. 5). This encourages the Thessalonicans that their sufferings are not in vain, because they are proving their citizenship and making them fit for the kingdom. The second way it is a token of God's righteousness is that it vindicates God's future judgement of the unbelievers who are persectuing them (v. 6). God's judgement on them will be just in part because they have persecuted his children. This serves as an encouragement to the Thessalonians as well because they are reminded that God will finally judge those who oppose them, so they can continue to endure it with patience and joy.
