\v 2 We always give thanks to God for all of you, as we mention you in our prayers.
\v 3 We remember without ceasing before our God and Father your work of faith, labor of love, and patience of confidence for the future in our Lord Jesus Christ.
\v 5 how our gospel came to you not in word only, but also in power, in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance. In the same way, you also know what kind of men we were among you for your sake.
\v 8 For from you the word of the Lord has rung out, and not only in Macedonia and Achaia. Instead, to every place your faith in God has gone out. As a result, we do not need to say anything.
\v 9 For they themselves report what kind of coming we had to you. They tell how you turned to God from the idols to serve the living and true God.
\v 10 They report that you are waiting for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead ones. This is Jesus, who frees us from the wrath to come.
