For from you the word of the Lord has rung out, and not only in Macedonia and Achaia—everywhere your faith in God has gone out. Therefore we do not need to say anything about it.

For they themselves report what kind of coming we had among you. They tell how you turned to God from the idols to serve the living and true God.
