1 Thessalonians 2:1-3

EasyEnglish Bible

Paul's work in Thessalonica

2 Our Christian friends, you yourselves know that our visit to you had good results. ² You know what happened to us before we came to you. The people at Philippi had done bad things to us.^[a] They had caused us to have trouble. When we came to you, our God helped us to be brave. We were not afraid to tell you his good news. Many people tried to stop us, but we told you God's message.

³ When we tell people to obey God's message, we are not saying anything that is not true. We do not have a wrong purpose. We are not trying to deceive anyone.
