1 Thessalonians 2:11 in context

  1. 9For ye remember, brethren, our labor and travail: working night and day, that we might not burden any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.
  2. 10Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and righteously and unblamably we behaved ourselves toward you that believe:
  3. 11as ye know how we dealt with each one of you, as a father with his own children, exhorting you, and encouraging you, and testifying,
  4. 12to the end that ye should walk worthily of God, who calleth you into his own kingdom and glory.
  5. 13And for this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that, when ye received from us the word of the message, even the word of God, ye accepted it not as the word of men, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which also worketh in you that believe.
