3 unceasingly remembering your work of trust and labor of love and endurance of hope in our Adonay Yah Shua Messiah in front of Elohim and our Father,
4 beloved brothers, knowing your selection by Elohim.
5 For our evangelism to you is not only in word, but also in dynamis and in Holy Spirit and in much fullbearance; exactly as you know what manner of men we became among you for your sake:
6 and you became mimickers of us and of Adonay, receiving the word in much tribulation, with cheer of Holy Spirit:
7 so that you became types to all who trust in Macedonia and Achaia:
8 for the word of Adonay echoes from you - not only in Macedonia and Achaia but also in every place your trust toward Elohim goes; so that we need not speak aught.
9 For they themselves evangelize of us what manner of entrance we had to you; and how you turned from idols to Elohim to serve the living and true Elohim;
10 and to await his Son from the heavens - Yah Shua - whom he raised from the dead who rescued us from the wrath to come.
