1 Thessalonians 2:1-2

Paul’s Ministry to the Thessalonians

For you yourselves know, brothers
Or  brothers and sisters; also verses 9, 14, 17
that our b coming to you c was not in vain.
But though we had already suffered and been shamefully treated d at Philippi, as you know e we had boldness in our God f to declare to you the gospel of God in the midst of much g conflict.
