1 Thessalonians 2:12

Paul's Approach To Ministry In Thessalonica

¹¹ As you know, as a father with his own children, ¹² we exhorted, comforted, and implored every one of you to lead a life worthy of God, who calls you into his own Kingdom and glory. ¹³ For this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that, when you received from us the word of the message of God, you accepted it not as the word of men, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which also works in you who believe.
