1 Thessalonians 2:11-13

New King James Version

¹¹ as you know how we exhorted, and comforted, and ^[a]charged every one of you, as a father does his own children, ^12 (A)that you would walk worthy of God ^(B)who calls you into His own kingdom and glory.

Their Conversion

¹³ For this reason we also thank God ^(C)without ceasing, because when you ^(D)received the word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it ^(E)not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively ^(F)works in you who believe.
