Thanksgiving
2We always thank God for all of you, making mention of you constantly in our prayers. 3We recall, in the presence of our God and Father,#Php 4:20 your work produced by faith,#Rm 3:28; 9:32; Gl 2:16; 5:6; 2Th 1:11; Heb 6:1; Jms 2:14–26; Rv 2:19 your labor motivated by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.#Ac 15:26 4For we know, brothers and sisters loved#Jn 3:16; Rv 12:11 by God,#Dt 33:12; 2Th 2:13 that he has chosen you,#Mt 24:22; Eph 1:4 5because our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power, in the Holy Spirit,#Jn 1:33; Ac 2:4; Rm 8:9; 1Co 2:4; Gl 5:25; Ti 3:5; Rv 3:22 and with full assurance. You know how we lived among you#Ac 20:18; 1Th 2:10 for your benefit, 6and you yourselves became imitators of us and of the Lord when, in spite of severe persecution, you welcomed the message#Heb 4:12 with joy from the Holy Spirit. 7As a result, you became an example to all the believers in Macedonia#Ac 16:9 and Achaia.#Ac 18:12 8For the word of the Lord rang out from you, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place that your faith#1:8 Or in every place news of your faith#Gl 2:16 in God has gone out. Therefore, we don’t need to say anything, 9for they themselves report#1:9 Lit report about us what kind of reception#Ac 17:1–9 we had from you: how you turned#1Pt 2:25 to God from idols#Gn 31:19; 1Co 8:4 to serve the living#Dt 5:26 and true#Jn 4:23; 1Jn 5:20 God 10and to wait#Jd 21 for his Son#Heb 1:2 from heaven, whom he raised from the dead#Mt 17:9; Jn 5:25  — Jesus, who rescues us#Mt 27:43 from the coming wrath.#Rm 2:5; 1Th 5:9; Rv 6:16
