1 Thessalonians 2:12

Paul's Approach To Ministry In Thessalonica

¹¹ Indeed, you know that, like a father with his own children, we used to encourage and comfort every one of you, and solemnly plead with you; ¹² So that you should make your daily lives worthy of God who is calling you into the glory of his Kingdom. ¹³ This, too, is a reason why we, on our part, are continually thanking God--because, in receiving the teaching that you had from us, you accepted it, not as the teaching of man, but as what it really is--the teaching of God, which is even now doing its work within you who believe in Christ.
