1 Thessalonians 2:1-3

Good News Translation

Paul's Work in Thessalonica

2 Our friends, you yourselves know that our visit to you was not a failure. ^2 (A)You know how we had already been mistreated and insulted in Philippi before we came to you in Thessalonica. And even though there was much opposition, our God gave us courage to tell you the Good News that comes from him. ³ Our appeal to you is not based on error or impure motives, nor do we try to trick anyone.
