'Us' in the Bible

And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, receiving the word in much affliction, with the joy of the Holy Spirit,

For [they] themselves report about us, what sort of welcome we had with you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve [the] living and true God,

and to await his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus, the one who delivers us from the coming wrath.

Longing for you in this way, we determined to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own souls, because you had become dear to us.

And because of this we also give thanks to God constantly, that [when you] received God's word {that you heard} from us, you accepted [it] not [as the] word of men, but as [it] truly is, [the] word of God, which also is at work in you who believe.

who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and who persecuted us, and [who are] not pleasing to God and [are] opposed to all people,

hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles in order that they may be saved, so that [they] always fill up their sins. But wrath has come upon them to the end.

because we wanted to come to you--I, Paul, {on more than one occasion}--and Satan hindered us.

But now, [because] Timothy has come to us from you and has brought good news to us of your faith and love, and that {you always think kindly of us}, desiring to see us just as also we [desire to see] you,

Finally therefore, brothers, we ask you and appeal to [you] in the Lord Jesus that, just as you have received from us how it is necessary for you to live and to please God, just as indeed you are living, that you progress even more.

For God did not call us to impurity, but in holiness.

because God did not appoint us for wrath, but for the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep, we will live at the same time with him.

Brothers, pray for us.
