1 Thessalonians

1 Thessalonians 1:6–8

⁶And you became imitators of us and of the Lord when you welcomed the message with the joy of the Holy Spirit, in spite of your great suffering.

⁷As a result, you have become an example to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia. ⁸For not only did the message of the Lord ring out from you to Macedonia and Achaia, but your faith in God has gone out to every place, so that we have no need to say anything more.
