1:6And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost:

1:7So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.

1:8For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing.

1:9For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;

1:10And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
