1 Thessalonians 2:13

2:13 And so we too constantly thank God that when you received God’s message that you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human message, but as it truly is, God’s message, which is at work among you who believe.

1 Thessalonians 2:19

2:19 For who is our hope or joy or crown to boast of before our Lord Jesus at his coming? Is it not of course you?
