1 Thessalonians 2:11 in Context — 1 Thessalonians 2

9 Pois vos lembrais, irmãos, do nosso trabalho e fadiga; porque enquanto vos pregávamos o evangelho de Deus, trabalhávamos noite e dia para que não fôssemos um peso para vós.

10 Vós e Deus [sois] testemunhas de como foi santa, justa, e irrepreensível a maneira da qual nos comportamos convosco, que credes.

11 Assim como sabeis que, como um pai aos seus filhos, exortávamos, consolávamos, e testemunhávamos a cada um de vós,

12 para que andásseis de maneira digna diante de Deus, que vos chama para o seu reino e glória.

13 Por isso também agradecemos sem cessar a Deus, que, quando recebestes a palavra da Deus pregada por nós, a recebestes, não [como] palavra de homens, mas (conforme em verdade é) [como] a palavra de Deus, a qual também opera em vós, que credes.
