AI-assisted, sourced1 Thessalonians 2:1-12How Paul lived among them
About 1 Thessalonians 2Paul reminds the Thessalonians how he and his companions came to them boldly after being shamefully treated at Philippi, speaking "not as pleasing men, but God," without flattery or covetousness. They were "gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children," worked "night and day" so as not to burden anyone, and exhorted each one "as a father doth his children." The Thessalonians received their message "not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God," and Paul longs to see them, for "ye are our glory and joy." 1 Thessalonians 2:21 Thessalonians 2:41 Thessalonians 2:51 Thessalonians 2:71 Thessalonians 2:91 Thessalonians 2:111 Thessalonians 2:131 Thessalonians 2:171 Thessalonians 2:201 Thessalonians overview
