We worked night and day so that we would not be a burden to anyone while we proclaimed to you the gospel of God.1 Thessalonians 2:14For you, brothers, became imitators of the churches of God in Judea that are in Christ Jesus. You suffered from your own countrymen the very things they suffered from the Jews,1 Thessalonians 2:15who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets and drove us out as well. They are displeasing to God and hostile to all men,1 Thessalonians 3:4Indeed, when we were with you, we kept warning you that we would suffer persecution; and as you know, it has come to pass.2 Thessalonians 1:1Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:2 Thessalonians 1:2Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.2 Thessalonians 1:3We are obligated to thank God for you all the time, brothers, as is fitting, because your faith is growing more and more, and your love for one another is increasing.2 Thessalonians 1:4That is why we boast among God’s churches about your perseverance and faith in the face of all the persecution and affliction you are enduring.2 Thessalonians 3:8nor did we eat anyone’s food without paying for it.
