1 Tess 1:8-9

8. Teidän keskuudestanne on Herran sana kaikunut, ei ainoastaan Makedoniaan ja Akhaiaan, vaan kaikkialle on teidän uskonne Jumalaan levinnyt. Meidän ei tarvitse puhua siitä mitään,  Room. 1:8

9.sillä kaikki kertovat, millainen meidän tulomme teidän luoksenne oli ja miten te käännyitte epäjumalista Jumalan puoleen palvelemaan elävää ja todellista Jumalaa  Ap. t. 26:18; 1. Kor. 12:2; Hepr. 9:14

1 Thessalonians 1:8-9Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC)

⁸ For not only has the Word concerning and from the Lord resounded forth from you unmistakably in Macedonia and Achaia, but everywhere the report has gone forth of your faith in God [of your ^[a]leaning of your whole personality on Him in complete trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness]. So we [find that we] never need to tell people anything [further about it].

⁹ For they themselves volunteer testimony concerning us, telling what an entrance we had among you, and how you turned to God from [your] idols to serve a God Who is alive and true and genuine,

1 Thessalonians 1:8-9Amplified Bible (AMP)

⁸ For the word of the Lord has resounded from you and has echoed [like thunder], not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place [the news of] your [great] faith in God has spread, so that we never need to say anything about it. ⁹ For they themselves report about us, telling what kind of reception we had among you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God,

1 Thessalonians 1:8-10The Message (MSG)

^7-10 Do you know that all over the provinces of both Macedonia and Achaia believers look up to you? The word has gotten around. Your lives are echoing the Master’s Word, not only in the provinces but all over the place. The news of your faith in God is out. We don’t even have to say anything anymore—you’re the message! People come up and tell us how you received us with open arms, how you deserted the dead idols of your old life so you could embrace and serve God, the true God. They marvel at how expectantly you await the arrival of his Son, whom he raised from the dead—Jesus, who rescued us from certain doom.

1 Thessalonians 1:8-9Living Bible (TLB)

⁸ And now the Word of the Lord has spread out from you to others everywhere, far beyond your boundaries, for wherever we go we find people telling us about your remarkable faith in God. We don’t need to tell them about it, ⁹ for they keep telling us about the wonderful welcome you gave us, and how you turned away from your idols to God so that now the living and true God only is your Master.
