1 Thessalonians 1:7-9

Contemporary English Version

⁷ You became an example for all the Lord's followers in Macedonia and Achaia. ⁸ And because of you, the Lord's message has spread everywhere in those regions. Now the news of your faith in God is known all over the world, and we don't have to say a thing about it. ⁹ Everyone is talking about how you welcomed us and how you turned away from idols to serve the true and living God.
