‏ 1 Thessalonians 1:6-7

1:6  a Because they accepted the Good News, the Thessalonians experienced severe suffering from their contemporaries (2:14  b; 3:3-4  c). Yet as they followed the model of the apostles and of the Lord himself (Matt 5:11-12  d; Rom 8:17  e; 12:12  f; Phil 2:17  g), they received joy from the Holy Spirit (1 Pet 4:13-14  h).
Summary for 1Thess 1:7-8: 1:7-8  i ringing out: The example of the Thessalonians’ faith and their proclamation of the Good News was heard throughout the provinces of Macedonia and Achaia.
