1 Thessalonians 2:10-12

New Century Version

¹⁰ When we were with you, we lived in a holy and honest way, without fault. You know this is true, and so does God. ¹¹ You know that we treated each of you as a father treats his own children. ¹² We encouraged you, we urged you, and we insisted that you live good lives for God, who calls you to his glorious kingdom.
