1 Thessalonians

1 Thessalonians 1:8–9

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. ⁹For they themselves report what kind of welcome you gave us, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God
