And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost: (1:6) So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia (1:7) For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing (1:8) For they themselves show of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God; (1:9) And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, [even] Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come
(1:10)
