1 Thessalonians 2:11-13

11as ye know how, as a father his own children, we used to exhort each one of you, and comfort and testify,

12that ye should walk worthy of 1God, who calls you to his own kingdom and glory.

13And for this cause we also give thanks to 2God unceasingly that, having received [the] word of [the] report of 3God by us, ye accepted, not men's word, but, even as it is truly, 4God's word, which also works in you who believe.
