1 Thessalonians 1:8

Read in context

1 Thessalonians 1:6–10 · Berean Standard Bible

6 And you became imitators of us and of the Lord when you welcomed the message with the joy of the Holy Spirit, in spite of your great suffering.

7 As a result, you have become an example to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia.

8 For not only did the message of the Lord ring out from you to Macedonia and Achaia, but your faith in God has gone out to every place, so that we have no need to say anything more.

9 For they themselves report what kind of welcome you gave us, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God

10 and to await His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead—Jesus our deliverer from the coming wrath.
