1 Thessalonians 2:11-13

English Standard Version

¹¹ For you know how, ^(A)like a father with his children, ¹² we exhorted each one of you and encouraged you and ^(B)charged ^(C)you to walk in a manner worthy of God, ^(D)who calls you into his own kingdom and glory.

¹³ And ^(E)we also thank God constantly^[a] for this, that when you received ^(F)the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it ^(G)not as the word of men^[b] but as what it really is, the word of God, ^(H)which is at work in you believers.
