1 Thessalonians 2:10-13

English Standard Version

¹⁰ You are witnesses, and ^(A)God also, ^(B)how holy and righteous and blameless was our conduct toward you believers. ¹¹ For you know how, ^(C)like a father with his children, ¹² we exhorted each one of you and encouraged you and ^(D)charged ^(E)you to walk in a manner worthy of God, ^(F)who calls you into his own kingdom and glory.

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