1 Thessalonians 2:13-14 And we also are constantly giving-thanks to God because of this, because, when you accepted the word of God from our report, you accepted it not as the word of men, but just-as it truly is, the word of God, which is also working in you who believe.

MLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ And we also are constantly giving-thanks to God because of this, because, when you accepted the word of God from our report, you accepted it not as the word of men, but just-as it truly is, the word of God, which is also working in you who believe. ¹⁴ For brethren, you became imitators of the congregations of God, which are in Judea in Christ Jesus, because you also suffered the same things by your own countrymen, just-as they did also by the Jews.
