1 Thessalonians 2:12

Paul's Approach To Ministry In Thessalonica

¹¹ you likewise know, that we exhorted and encouraged every one of you, as a father doth his children, ¹² conjuring you to live suitably to the favour of God, who has called you to his kingdom and glory. ¹³ nor do we fail of giving thanks to God continually, that, when you received the word of God, which we preach, you did not receive it as the doctrine of men, but as a doctrine that appears to be truly divine, by the influences it displays in you, who believe.
