Compare all
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.  

Their Conversion

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,

1 Thessalonians 2:13

Ye received the word of God - Ye received the doctrine of God, not as any thing fabricated by man, but as coming immediately from God himself, we being only his messengers to declare what he had previously revealed to us. And ye have had the fullest proof that ye have not believed in vain; for that doctrine, under the power and influence of the Holy Ghost, has worked most powerfully in you, filling you with light, life, and holiness.
