1 Thessalonians 2:2 MSG/NIV - Online Parallel Bible
| The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 2 We had just been given rough treatment in Philippi, as you know, but that didn't slow us down. We were sure of ourselves in God, and went right ahead and said our piece, presenting God's Message to you, defiant of the opposition. | 2 We had previously suffered and been insulted in Philippi, as you know, but with the help of our God we dared to tell you his gospel in spite of strong opposition. |
