1 Thessalonians 1:6-8

The Voice

⁶ and you have modeled your lives after ours just as we are modeling ours after the Lord. You took to heart the word we taught with joy inspired by the Holy Spirit, even in the face of trouble. ⁷ As a result, you have turned into a model of faith yourselves for all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia. ⁸ In fact, not only has the message of our Lord thundered from your gathering into Macedonia and Achaia, but everywhere we go, your faith in God is talked about so we don’t even have to say a thing!
