'Us' in the Bible

And you took us and the Lord as your example, after the word had come to you in much trouble, with joy in the Holy Spirit;

But after we had first undergone much pain and been cruelly attacked as you saw, at Philippi, by the help of God we gave you the good news without fear, though everything was against us.

But even as the good news was given to us by the approval of God, so we give it out; not as pleasing men, but God by whom our hearts are tested.

Even so, being full of loving desire for you, we took delight in giving you not only God's good news, but even our lives, because you were dear to us.

And for this cause we still give praise to God, that, when the word came to your ears through us, you took it, not as the word of man, but, as it truly is, the word of God, which has living power in you who have faith.

Who put to death the Lord Jesus and the prophets, violently driving us out; who are unpleasing to God and against all men;

Who, to make the measure of their sins complete, kept us from giving the word of salvation to the Gentiles: but the wrath of God is about to come on them in the fullest degree.

For which reason we made attempts to come to you, even I, Paul, once and again; but Satan kept us from coming.

So that no man might be moved by these troubles; because you see that these things are part of God's purpose for us.

And when we were with you, we said to you that trouble was before us; and so it came about, as you see.

But now that Timothy has come to us from you, and has given us good news of your faith and love, and that you have happy memories of us, desiring greatly to see us, even as we do to see you;

For it is life to us if you keep your faith in the Lord unchanged.

Now may our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus make a way for us to come to you;

So then, let us not take our rest as the others do, but let us be self-controlled and awake.

But let us, who are of the day, be serious, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and on our heads, the hope of salvation.

For God's purpose for us is not wrath, but salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

Who was put to death for us, so that, awake or sleeping, we may have a part in his life.

Brothers, keep us in mind in your prayers.
