"As a result you became an example to all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia."
— 1 Thessalonians 1:7, NET Bible
“So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.”
“so that ye became an ensample to all that believe in Macedonia and in Achaia. ”
“so that you became an example to all who believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.”
“So that you were made a pattern to all that believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.”
“So that you became an example to all those who have faith in Christ in Macedonia and Achaia.”
“So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.”
We know, brothers and sisters loved by God, that he has chosen you,
in that our gospel did not come to you merely in words, but in power and in the Holy Spirit and with deep conviction(surely you recall the character we displayed when we came among you to help you).
And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, when you received the message with joy that comes from the Holy Spirit, despite great affliction.
As a result you became an example to all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia.
For from you the message of the Lord has echoed forth not just in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place reports of your faith in God have spread, so that we do not need to say anything.
For people everywhere report how you welcomed us and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God
and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus our deliverer from the coming wrath.
