1 Thessalonians 2:11-13

Darby Translation

¹¹ as ye know how, as a father his own children, we used to exhort each one of you, and comfort and testify,

¹² that ye should walk worthy of God, who calls you to his own kingdom and glory.

¹³ And for this cause we also give thanks to God unceasingly that, having received [the] word of [the] report of God by us, ye accepted, not men's word, but, even as it is truly, God's word, which also works in you who believe.
