1 Thessalonians 1:7-10
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.
