¹¹ Now these people were more noble-minded than those in ^(A)Thessalonica, ^[a]for they received the word with ^[b]great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.

¹³ But when the Jews of ^(A)Thessalonica found out that the word of God had been proclaimed by Paul in ^(B)Berea also, they came there as well, agitating and stirring up the crowds.

⁴ And ^[a]he was accompanied by Sopater of ^(A)Berea, the son of Pyrrhus, and by ^(B)Aristarchus and Secundus of the ^(C)Thessalonians, and ^(D)Gaius of ^(E)Derbe, and ^(F)Timothy, and ^(G)Tychicus and ^(H)Trophimus of ^[b](I)Asia.

² And we boarded an Adramyttian ship that was about to sail to the regions along the coast of ^[a](A)Asia, and put out to sea accompanied by ^(B)Aristarchus, a ^(C)Macedonian of ^(D)Thessalonica.

¹⁶ for even in ^(A)Thessalonica you sent a gift more than once for my needs.

Giving Thanks for These Believers

1 ^(A)Paul, ^(B)Silvanus, and ^(C)Timothy,

To the ^(D)church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: ^(E)Grace to you and peace.

Giving Thanks for Faith and Perseverance

1 ^(A)Paul, ^(B)Silvanus, and ^(C)Timothy,

To the ^(D)church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:

¹⁰ for ^(A)Demas, having loved ^(B)this present ^[a]world, has deserted me and gone to ^(C)Thessalonica; Crescens has gone to ^[b](D)Galatia, ^(E)Titus to Dalmatia.
