1 Thessalonians 1:5 (KJV) For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.

 

[barb754]

1 Thessalonians 1:6 (KJV) And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost:

 

[doc329]

1 Thessalonians 1:7 (KJV) So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.

 

[doc329]

1 Thessalonians 1:8 (KJV) For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing.

 

[barb754]

1 Thessalonians 1:9 (KJV) For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;

 

[barb754]

1 Thessalonians 1:10 (KJV) And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.

 

[doc329]

1 Thessalonians 2:1 (KJV) For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain:

[BIBLE]1 Thessalonians 2:3[/BIBLE]

 

[doc329]

1 Thessalonians 2:4 (KJV) But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.

 

[doc329]

1 Thessalonians 2:5 (KJV) For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness:

 

[barb754]

1 Thessalonians 2:6 (KJV) Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.

 

[barb754]

1 Thessalonians 2:7 (KJV) But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children:

[BIBLE]1 Thessalonians 2:8[/BIBLE]

 

[doc329]

1 Thessalonians 2:9 (KJV) For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for labouring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.

 

[barb754]

1 Thessalonians 2:10 (KJV) Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:
