1 Thessalonians 1:6-10

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁶ And you became followers of us, and of the Lord; receiving the word in much tribulation, with joy of the Holy Ghost:

⁷ So that you were made a pattern to all that believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.

⁸ For from you was spread abroad the word of the Lord, not only in Macedonia, and in Achaia, but also in every place, your faith which is towards God, is gone forth, so that we need not to speak any thing.

⁹ For they themselves relate of us, what manner of entering in we had unto you; and how you turned to God from idols, to serve the living and true God.

¹⁰ And to wait for his Son from heaven (whom he raised up from the dead,) Jesus, who hath delivered us from the wrath to come.
