Strongs On/Off
Context
1:5 in that our gospel did not come to you merely in words , but in power and in the Holy Spirit and with deep conviction (surely you recall the character we displayed when we came among you to help you ).
1:6 And you became imitators of us and of the Lord , when you received the message with joy that comes from the Holy Spirit , despite great affliction .
1:7 As a result you became an example to all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia .
1:8 For from you the message of the Lord has echoed forth not just in Macedonia and Achaia , but in every place reports of your faith in God have spread , so that we do not need to say anything .
1:9 For people everywhere report how you welcomed us and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God
1:10 and to wait for his Son from heaven , whom he raised from the dead , Jesus our deliverer from the coming wrath .
