1 Thessalonians 2:11-13

New American Standard Bible

¹¹just as you know how we were ^(A)exhorting and encouraging and ^(B)imploring each one of you as ^(C)a father would his own children, ¹²so that you would ^(D)walk in a manner worthy of the God who ^(E)calls you into His own kingdom and ^(F)glory.

¹³For this reason we also constantly ^(G)thank God that when you received the ^(H)word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it ^(I)not as the word of mere men, but as what it really is, the word of God, ^(J)which also is at work in you who believe.
