@
For
our

came
not
unto
you
in
word
only

also
in
power
,
and
in
the
Holy
Ghost
,
and
in
much
assurance

as

men
we
were

you
for
your

strkjv@1Thessalonians:1:6
@
And
ye

followers

received
the
word

much
affliction

with
joy

Holy

So
that
ye

strkjv@1Thessalonians:1:8

from
you
sounded
out
the
word

not
only
in
Macedonia

Achaia
,
but
also
in
every
place
your
faith
to
God-
ward
is spread
abroad
;
so
that
we
need
not
to
speak
any
thing

strkjv@1Thessalonians:1:9
@
For
they
themselves
shew
of
us
what
manner
of entering
in
we
had
unto
you

and
how
ye
turned
to
God
from
idols
to
serve
the
living
and
true
God
;
strkjv@1Thessalonians:1:10
@
And
to wait
for
his
Son
from

he
raised

delivered
us

the
wrath

strkjv@1Thessalonians:2:1
@
For

know
our
entrance
in

you
,
that
it

not
in
vain

strkjv@1Thessalonians:2:2
@
But
even
after that we had suffered
before
,
and
were shamefully
entreated

as
ye
know
,
at
Philippi
, we were
bold
in
our
God
to
speak
unto
you
the
gospel
of
God
with
much
contention
.
strkjv@1Thessalonians:2:3
@
For
our
exhortation
was
not
of
deceit
,
nor
of
uncleanness
,
nor
in
guile

strkjv@1Thessalonians:2:4
@
But
as
we were
allowed
of
God
to be put in
trust
with the
gospel

so
we
speak
;
not
as
pleasing
men
,

God
, which
trieth
our
hearts

strkjv@1Thessalonians:2:5
@
For
neither

flattering

glory

neither

might
have
been
burdensome
,
as
the
apostles
of
Christ

strkjv@1Thessalonians:2:7

we
were
gentle

being affectionately

willing

not
the
gospel

also
our

ye

ye

received
it
not
