1 Thessalonians 2:11-13

International Children’s Bible

¹¹ You know that we treated each of you as a father treats his own children. ¹² We strengthened you, we comforted you, and we told you to live good lives for God. It is God who calls you to his glorious kingdom.

¹³ Also, we always thank God because of the way you accepted his message. You heard his message from us, and you accepted it as the word of God, not the words of men. And it really is God’s message. And that message works in you who believe.
