lont - 1Thessalonians:1:2-10

lont@1Thessalonians:1:2 @ We give thanks to God at all times for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;

lont@1Thessalonians:1:3 @ incessantly remembering your work of faith, and labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God, even our Father;

lont@1Thessalonians:1:4 @ knowing, brethren, beloved of God, your election:

lont@1Thessalonians:1:5 @ for our gospel came not to you in word only, but also with power, and with the Holy Spirit, and with much assurance: as you know what sort of men we were among you.

lont@1Thessalonians:1:6 @ And you became imitators of us, and of the Lord, having embraced the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit.

lont@1Thessalonians:1:7 @ So that you become patterns to all who believe, in Macedonia and Achaia.

lont@1Thessalonians:1:8 @ Besides, from you the word of the Lord has resounded, not only in Macedonia and Achaia; but also in every place your faith in God is spread abroad, so that we have no need to speak anything.

lont@1Thessalonians:1:9 @ For they themselves publish concerning us, what sort of entrance we had to you, and how you turned to God from idols, to serve the living and true God;

lont@1Thessalonians:1:10 @ and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he has raised from the dead, even Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath which is to come.
