1 Tessalonicenses 1:7 Meaning and Commentary

They were not only followers of Christ and his apostles, whom they took for examples of faith, holiness, courage, meekness, and patience; but they were patterns of good works; and of suffering afflictions to other believers, even to all that knew them, or heard of them, particularly

in Macedonia;
as at Philippi and other places: though the Gospel was first preached there, and they had received it, and a Gospel church state was formed there; yet these were more forward in the exercise of grace and discharge of duty, and were even ensamples to them to copy after; so the first are sometimes last, and the last first:

and Achaia;
another part of Greece, the metropolis of which was Corinth, where there also was a very considerable church; but these saints at Thessalonica set them an example in many things, and particularly in acts of beneficence and liberality, being one of the churches of Macedonia spoken of in ( 2 Corinthians 8:1 ) .

1 Tessalonicenses 1:7 In-Context

5 porque o nosso evangelho não chegou a vocês somente em palavra, mas também em poder, no Espírito Santo e em plena convicção. Vocês sabem como procedemos entre vocês, em seu favor.
6 De fato, vocês se tornaram nossos imitadores e do Senhor, pois, apesar de muito sofrimento, receberam a palavra com alegria que vem do Espírito Santo.
7 Assim, tornaram-se modelo para todos os crentes que estão na Macedônia e na Acaia.
8 Porque, partindo de vocês, propagou-se a mensagem do Senhor na Macedônia e na Acaia. Não somente isso, mas também por toda parte tornou-se conhecida a fé que vocês têm em Deus. O resultado é que não temos necessidade de dizer mais nada sobre isso,
9 pois eles mesmos relatam de que maneira vocês nos receberam e como se voltaram para Deus, deixando os ídolos a fim de servir ao Deus vivo e verdadeiro
