1 Thessalonians 1:9-10

MSG

NIV

9 People come up and tell us how you received us with open arms, how you deserted the dead idols of your old life so you could embrace and serve God, the true God.
9 for they themselves report what kind of reception you gave us. They tell how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God,
10 They marvel at how expectantly you await the arrival of his Son, whom he raised from the dead - Jesus, who rescued us from certain doom.
10 and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead—Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath.
