'People' in the Bible

for the gospel we brought did not come to you in words only, but also with power, with the Holy Spirit, and with deep conviction. Indeed, you know what kind of people we proved to be while we were with you, acting on your behalf.

For people keep telling us what kind of welcome you gave us and how you turned away from idols to serve a living and true God

Rather, because we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, we speak as we do, not trying to please people but God, who tests our motives.

We did not seek praise from people from you or from anyone else

For you, brothers, became imitators of the churches of God in Judea that are in union with the Messiah Jesus. You suffered the same persecutions from the people of your own country as they did from those Jews

who killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, who have persecuted us, and who please neither God nor any group of people,

May the Lord greatly increase your love for each other and for all people, just as we love you.

But we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, about those who have died, so that you may not grieve like other people who have no hope.

When people say, "There is peace and security," destruction will strike them as suddenly as labor pains come to a pregnant woman, and they will not be able to escape.

For people who go to sleep, go to sleep at night; and people who get drunk, get drunk at night.
