⁷ With goodwill ^[a]render service, ^(A)as to the Lord, and not to people,

⁹ For they themselves report about us ^[a]as to the kind of ^(A)reception we had with you, and how you ^(B)turned to God ^(C)from ^[b]idols to serve ^[c](D)a living and true God,

^11 (A)Whoever speaks is to do so as one who is speaking ^(B)actual words of God; whoever serves is to do so as one who is serving ^[a](C)by the strength which God supplies; so that ^(D)in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, ^(E)to whom belongs the glory and ^[b]dominion forever and ever. Amen.
