4 Sabemos, irmãos amados por Deus, que [por ele] fostes escolhidos,

5 pois o nosso evangelho não foi até vós somente com palavras, mas também com poder, com o Espírito Santo, e com plena certeza; assim como sabeis de que maneira estivemos entre vós para o vosso benefício.

6 E vos tornastes imitadores nossos e do Senhor. [Mesmo] em meio a muita aflição, recebestes a palavra com a alegria do Espírito Santo.

7 Dessa maneira vos tornastes referências a todos os crentes na Macedônia e Acaia.

8 Pois de vós ressoou a palavra do Senhor, não somente na Macedônia e Acaia, mas a vossa fé em Deus também se espalhou em todo lugar, de tal maneira que não precisamos falar coisa alguma.
