1 Thessalonians / Question
Question source
1 Thessalonians
Paul thanks God that they accepted the message not as merely human speech but “as what it really is, the word of God” (1 Thessalonians 2:13). He adds that this word is “at work” in those who believe (1 Thessalonians 2:13).
13For this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that, when you received from us the word of the message of God, you accepted it not as the word of men, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which also works in you who believe.
