DouayRheims⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ Being mindful of the work of your faith and labour and charity: and of the enduring of the hope of our Lord Jesus Christ before God and our Father. ⁴ Knowing, brethren, beloved of God, your election: ⁵ For our gospel hath not been unto you in word only, but in power also: and in the Holy Ghost and in much fulness, as you know what manner of men we have been among you for your sakes. ⁶ And you became followers of us and of the Lord: receiving the word in much tribulation, with joy of the Holy Ghost: ⁷ So that you were made a pattern to all that believe in Macedonia and in Achaia. ⁸ For from you was spread abroad the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and in Achaia but also in every place: your faith which is towards God, is gone forth, so that we need not to speak any thing. ⁹ For they themselves relate of us, what manner of entering in we had unto you: and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God. ¹⁰ And to wait for his Son from heaven (whom he raised up from the dead), Jesus, who hath delivered us from the wrath to come.
