dby - 1Thessalonians:1:2-10

dby@1Thessalonians:1:2 @ We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you at our prayers,

dby@1Thessalonians:1:3 @ remembering unceasingly your work of faith, and labour of love, and enduring constancy of hope, of our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;

dby@1Thessalonians:1:4 @ knowing, brethren beloved by God, your election.

dby@1Thessalonians:1:5 @ For our glad tidings were not with you in word only, but also in power, and in [the] Holy Spirit, and in much assurance; even as ye know what we were among you for your sakes:

dby@1Thessalonians:1:6 @ and ye became our imitators, and of the Lord, having accepted the word in much tribulation with joy of [the] Holy Spirit,

dby@1Thessalonians:1:7 @ so that ye became models to all that believe in Macedonia and in Achaia:

dby@1Thessalonians:1:8 @ for the word of the Lord sounded out from you, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith which [is] towards God has gone abroad, so that we have no need to say anything;

dby@1Thessalonians:1:9 @ for they themselves relate concerning us what entering in we had to you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God,

dby@1Thessalonians:1:10 @ and to await his Son from the heavens, whom he raised from among the dead, Jesus, our deliverer from the coming wrath.
