“You became imitators of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit,”
Verse in context — 1 Thessalonians 1
4
We know, brothers loved by God, that you are chosen,
5
and that our Good News came to you not in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and with much assurance. You know what kind of men we showed ourselves to be among you for your sake.
6
You became imitators of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit,
7
so that you became an example to all who believe in Macedonia and in Achaia.
8
For from you the word of the Lord has been declared, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God has gone out; so that we need not to say anything.
