1 Thessalonians 1:5

5 because our gospel came to you not simply with words but also with power, with the Holy Spirit and deep conviction. You know how we lived among you for your sake.

1 Thessalonians 1:8

8 The Lord’s message rang out from you not only in Macedonia and Achaia—your faith in God has become known everywhere. Therefore we do not need to say anything about it,

1 Thessalonians 2:1

1 You know, brothers and sisters, that our visit to you was not without results.

1 Thessalonians 2:3

3 For the appeal we make does not spring from error or impure motives, nor are we trying to trick you.

1 Thessalonians 2:4

4 On the contrary, we speak as those approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel. We are not trying to please people but God, who tests our hearts.

8 so we cared for you. Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well.

9 Now about your love for one another we do not need to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love each other.

1 Thessalonians 4:13

13 Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope.

1 Thessalonians 5:1

1 Now, brothers and sisters, about times and dates we do not need to write to you,

1 Thessalonians 5:4

4 But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief.

1 Thessalonians 5:5

5 You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness.

1 Thessalonians 5:9

9 For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.
