1 Thessalonians 2:10-13

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁰ You are witnesses, and so is ^(A)God, ^(B)how devoutly and uprightly and blamelessly we ^[a]behaved toward you ^[b]believers; ¹¹ just as you know how we were ^(C)exhorting and encouraging and ^[c](D)imploring each one of you as ^(E)a father would his own children, ¹² so that you would ^(F)walk in a manner worthy of the God who ^(G)calls you into His own kingdom and ^(H)glory.

¹³ For this reason we also constantly ^(I)thank God that when you received the ^(J)word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it ^(K)not as the word of men, but for what it really is, the word of God, ^(L)which also performs its work in you who believe.
