Paul often thanks God for their acceptance of the gospel message he shared with them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# you received it as it truly is, the word of God
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Thessalonians believed Paul's message as coming from God, not from Paul's own authority.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# It is this word that is also at work among you who believe
|
|
|

Paul speaks of God's gospel message as if it were a person who was doing work. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-personification]])
