1 Thessalonians 1:6-9

6You also became 1imitators of us and of the Lord, 2having received 3the word during great affliction with the 4joy of the Holy Spirit,

7so that you became an example to all the believers in 5Macedonia and 6Achaia.

8For 7the word of the Lord has 8sounded forth from you, not only in 9Macedonia and 10Achaia, but 11in every place the news of your faith toward God has gone out, so that we have no need to say anything.

9For they themselves report about us 12as to the kind of 13reception we had with you, and how you 14turned to God 15from 16idols to serve 17 18a living and true God,
