for our gospel came not to you in word only, but also with power, and with the Holy Spirit, and with much assurance: as you know what sort of men we were among you.

And you became imitators of us, and of the Lord, having embraced the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit.

So that you become patterns to all who believe, in Macedonia and Achaia.

and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he has raised from the dead, even Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath which is to come.
