1 Thessalonians 1:3-5

GOD’S WORD Translation

³ In the presence of our God and Father, we never forget that your faith is active, your love is working hard, and your confidence in our Lord Jesus Christ is enduring. ⁴ Brothers and sisters, we never forget this because we know that God loves you and has chosen you. ⁵ We know this because the Good News we brought came to you not only with words but also with power, with the Holy Spirit, and with complete certainty. In the same way you know what kind of people we were while we were with you and the good things we did for you.
