1 Thessalonians 2:12-13Amplified
Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC)12 To live lives worthy of God, Who calls you
into His own kingdom and the glorious blessedness [[a]into which true believers will enter after Christ’s
return].
13 And we also [especially] thank God continually
for this, that when you received the message of God [which you heard] from us,
you welcomed it not as the word of [mere] men, but as it truly is, the Word
of God, which is effectually at work in you who believe [[b]exercising its
superhuman power in those who adhere to and trust in and rely on it].
1 Thessalonians 2:12-13Amplified
Bible (AMP)
12 to live lives [of honor, moral courage, and
personal integrity] worthy of the God who [saves you and] calls you into
His own kingdom and glory.
13 And we also thank God continually for this,
that when you received the word of God [concerning salvation] which you heard
from us, you welcomed it not as the word of [mere] men, but as it truly is, the
word of God, which is effectually at work in you who believe [exercising
its inherent, supernatural power in those of faith].
1 Thessalonians 2:12-13The Message
(MSG)9-12 You remember us in those days, friends,
working our fingers to the bone, up half the night, moonlighting so you
wouldn’t have the burden of supporting us while we proclaimed God’s Message to you.
You saw with your own eyes how discreet and courteous we were among you, with
keen sensitivity to you as fellow believers. And God knows we weren’t
freeloaders! You experienced it all firsthand. With each of you we were like a
father with his child, holding your hand, whispering encouragement, showing you
step-by-step how to live well before God, who called us into his own kingdom,
into this delightful life.
13 And now we look back on all this and thank
God, an artesian well of thanks! When you got the Message of God we preached,
you didn’t pass it off as just one more human opinion, but you took it to heart
as God’s true word to you, which it is, God himself at work in you believers!
1 Thessalonians 2:12-13Living Bible
(TLB)12 that your daily lives should not embarrass God
but bring joy to him who invited you into his Kingdom to share his glory.
13 And we will never stop thanking God for this:
that when we preached to you, you didn’t think of the words we spoke as being
just our own, but you accepted what we said as the very Word of God—which, of
course, it was—and it changed your lives when you believed it.

ei Herran käsi ole liian lyhyt auttamaan, eikä hänen korvansa kuuro kuulemaan.

Separation from God

hand is not so short
That it cannot save,
Nor His ear so [a]impaired
That it cannot hear.Footnotes:Isaiah 59:1 Lit dull.

Edition (AMPC)
59 Behold, the Lord’s
hand is not shortened at all, that it cannot save, nor His ear dull with
deafness, that it cannot hear.
Isaiah 59:1-8The Message (MSG)
We Long for Light but Sink into
Darkness
59 1-8 Look!
Listen!
God’s arm is not amputated—he can still save.
God’s ears are not stopped up—he can still hear.
There’s nothing wrong with God; the wrong is in you.
Your wrongheaded lives caused the split between you and
God.
Your sins got between you so that he doesn’t hear.
Your hands are drenched in blood,
your fingers dripping with guilt,
Your lips smeared with lies,
your tongue swollen from muttering obscenities.
No one speaks up for the right,
no one deals fairly.
They trust in illusion, they tell lies,
they get pregnant with mischief and have sin-babies.
They hatch snake eggs and weave spider webs.
Eat an egg and die; break an egg and get a snake!
The spider webs are no good for shirts or shawls.
No one can wear these weavings!
They weave wickedness,
they hatch violence.
They compete in the race to do evil
and run to be the first to murder.
They plan and plot evil, think and breathe evil,
and leave a trail of wrecked lives behind them.
They know nothing about peace
and less than nothing about justice.
They make tortuously twisted roads.
No peace for the wretch who walks down those roads!
Isaiah
59:1Living Bible (TLB)
59 Listen now! The Lord
isn’t too weak to save you. And he isn’t getting deaf! He can hear you when you call!
