And ye became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit,

in order for you to become examples to all those who believe, in Macedonia and in Achaia.

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

and to await his Son from the heavens whom he raised from the dead-Jesus-who rescues us from the coming wrath.
