1 Thessalonians 1:8 BBE

⁶  And you took us and the Lord as your example, after the word had come to you in much trouble, with joy in the Holy Spirit;

⁷  So that you became an example to all those who have faith in Christ in Macedonia and Achaia.

⁸  For not only was the word of the Lord sounding out from you in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith in God is made clear; so that we have no need to say anything.

⁹  For they themselves give the news of how we came among you; and how you were turned from images to God, to the worship of a true and living God,

¹⁰  Waiting for his Son from heaven, who came back from the dead, even Jesus, our Saviour from the wrath to come.
