1 Thessalonians 2:10

Compare all

8 So, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased ^ato impart to you not only the gospel of God, but also ^bour own lives, because you had become dear to us.

9 For you remember, brethren, our ^alabor and toil; for laboring night and day, ^bthat we might not be a burden to any of you, we preached to you the gospel of God.

10 ^aYou are witnesses, and God also, ^bhow devoutly and justly and blamelessly we behaved ourselves among you who believe;

11 as you know how we exhorted, and comforted, and¹ charged every one of you, as a father does his own children,

12 ^athat you would walk worthy of God ^bwho calls you into His own kingdom and glory.

13 For this reason we also thank God ^awithout ceasing, because when you ^breceived the word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it ^cnot as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively ^dworks in you who believe.

14 For you, brethren, became imitators ^aof the churches of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus. For ^byou also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, just as they did from the Judeans,

15 ^awho killed both the Lord Jesus and ^btheir own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they do not please God ^cand are contrary to all men,

16 ^aforbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved, so as always ^bto fill up the measure of their sins; ^cbut wrath has come upon them to the uttermost.
