So that ye became examples to all that believed in Macedonia and Achaia.

For from you the word of the Lord sounded forth, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but your faith toward God went abroad in every place also, so that we need not speak any thing.

For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God in Christ Jesus, which are in Judea; for ye also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, as they likewise from the Jews:

Night and day praying exceedingly, that we may see your face, and perfect that which is wanting in your faith.

See that none render to any man evil for evil, but ever follow that which is good, both to one another and to all men.

Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
