1 Thessalonians 1:9; 1 Thessalonians 4:13

1 Thessalonians 1:9

9 For they themselves report about us what kind of a reception we had with you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God,

1 Thessalonians 4:13

13 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope.
