For our gospelG2098 cameG1096 not to you in wordG3056 only,G3440 but alsoG2532 in power,G1411 and in the HolyG40 Ghost,G4151 and in muchG4183 assurance;G4136 as you knowG1492 whatG3634 mannerG3634 of men we were amongG1722 you for yourG5209 sake.
6
And you becameG1096 followersG3402 of us, and of the Lord,G2962 having receivedG1209 the wordG3056 in muchG4183 affliction,G2347 with joyG5479 of the HolyG40 Ghost.G4151

SoG5620 that you were ensamplesG5179 to allG3956 that believeG4100 in MacedoniaG3109 and Achaia.G882

For they themselvesG846 showG518 of us whatG3697 mannerG3697 of enteringG1529 in we hadG2192 to you, and howG4459 you turnedG1994 to GodG2316 from idolsG1497 to serveG1398 the livingG2198 and trueG228 God;G2316
10
And to waitG362 for his SonG5207 from heaven,G3772 whomG3739 he raisedG1453 from the dead,G3498 even Jesus,G2424 whichG3588 deliveredG4506 us from the wrathG3709 to come.G2064
