The Faith of the Thessalonian Believers

And you know of our concern for you from the way we lived when we were with you.G3754G2257G2098G1096G3756G1519G5209G1722G3056G3440G235G2532G1722G1411G2532G1722G40G4151G2532G1722G4183G4136G2531G1492G3634G1096G1722G5213G1223G52096So you received the message with joy from the Holy Spirit in spite of the severe suffering it brought you. In this way, you imitated both us and the Lord.G2532G5210G1096G3402G2257G2532G2962G1209G3056G1722G4183G2347G3326G5479G40G41517As a result, you have become an example to all the believers in Greece—throughout both Macedonia and Achaiac.G5620G5209G1096G5179G3956G4100G1722G3109G2532G8828And now the word of the Lord is ringing out from you to people everywhere, even beyond Macedonia and Achaia, for wherever we go we find people telling us about your faith in God. We don't need to tell them about it,G1063G575G5216G1837G3056G2962G3756G3440G1722G3109G2532G882G235G2532G1722G3956G5117G5216G4102G4314G2316G1831G5620G2248G5532G3361G2192G2980G51009for they keep talking about the wonderful welcome you gave us and how you turned away from idols to serve the living and true God.G1063G518G846G518G4012G2257G3697G1529G2192G2192G4314G5209G2532G4459G1994G4314G2316G575G1497G1398G2198G2532G228G231610And they speak of how you are looking forward to the coming of God's Son from heaven—Jesus, whom God raised from the dead. He is the one who has rescued us from the terrors of the coming judgment.G2532G362G846G5207G1537G3772G3739G1453G1537G3498G2424G3588G4506G2248G575G3709G2064
