1 Thessalonians 2:12

Paul's Approach To Ministry In Thessalonica

¹¹ You know how, like a father with his children, we used to urge, encourage, and implore you ¹² to make your lives worthy of God who invites you into his kingdom and his glory. ¹³ We for our part constantly thank God for another reason too??ecause when you received God's message from our lips, you welcomed it not as the message of men but as the message of God, as it really is, which does its work in the hearts of you believers.
