1 Thessalonians 1:9-10

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁹ For they themselves volunteer testimony concerning us, telling what an entrance we had among you, and how you turned to God from [your] idols to serve a God Who is alive and true and genuine,

¹⁰ And [how you] look forward to and await the coming of His Son from heaven, Whom He raised from the dead—Jesus, Who personally rescues and delivers us out of and from the wrath [bringing punishment] which is coming [upon the impenitent] and ^[a]draws us to Himself [^[b]investing us with all the privileges and rewards of the new life in Christ, the Messiah].
