1 Thessalonians 2:12

Paul's Approach To Ministry In Thessalonica

¹¹ for you know how, as a father with his own children, we exhorted each one of you and encouraged you and charged you ¹² to live a life worthy of God, who calls you into his own kingdom and glory. ¹³ And we also thank God constantly for this, that when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men but as what it really is, the word of God, which is at work in you who believe.
