*
We give thanks to God always for you all ,
making mention of you in our prayers ;
*
Always remembering your work of faith ,
and labour of love ,
and endurance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ ,
in the sight of our God and Father ;
*
Knowing ,
brethren loved by God ,
that he has chosen you .
*
For our gospel came to you not in word only ,
but also in power ,
and in the Holy Spirit ,
and with full conviction .
You know what manner of men we were among you for your sake .
*
And you became followers of us ,
and of the Lord ,
having received the word despite much affliction ,
with joy from the Holy Spirit :
*
So that you became an example to all who believe in Macedonia and Achaia .
*
For from you the word of the Lord sounded out not only in Macedonia and Achaia ,
but your faith in God has spread abroad ;
so that we need not speak anything .
*
For they themselves testify about what manner of reception we had from you ,
and how you turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God ;
*
And to wait for his Son from heaven ,
whom he raised from the dead ,
that is ,
Jesus ,
who delivers us from the wrath to come .
