1 Thessalonians / Question
Question source
1 Thessalonians
Paul reports that others describe the Thessalonians as having “turned to God from idols” (1 Thessalonians 1:9). The stated purpose is “to serve the living and true God” and to wait for God’s Son from heaven (1 Thessalonians 1:9–10).
9For they themselves report concerning us what kind of a reception we had from you; and how you turned to God from idols, to serve a living and true God,
10and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead -- Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come.
