1 Thessalonians 1:4-6

EasyEnglish Bible

⁴ Our Christian friends, God loves you. We know that he has chosen you to belong to him. ⁵ When we told you God's good news, it was not only words that we spoke to you. God helped us with his power and with the Holy Spirit. As a result, you were sure that our message was true. You also know that we lived among you in a good way. We had come to help you.

⁶ In your lives also, you copied our example and the example of the Lord Jesus. When you believed our message, people caused you to have a lot of trouble. But God's Holy Spirit helped you to be very happy.
