1 Thessalonians 1:2-10Thanksgiving for their faith

About 1 Thessalonians 1Paul, Silvanus and Timotheus give thanks for the Thessalonians, remembering their "work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ." The gospel came to them "not... in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost," and they received it "in much affliction, with joy." Their faith is known everywhere: they "turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God; And to wait for his Son from heaven." 1 Thessalonians 1:11 Thessalonians 1:21 Thessalonians 1:31 Thessalonians 1:51 Thessalonians 1:61 Thessalonians 1:81 Thessalonians 1:91 Thessalonians 1:10
