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.
